EPC Certificates
Energy Performance Certificates for Homes & Rental Properties
Energy Performance Certificates for Homes & Rental Properties
If you are selling, letting or marketing a property, you will usually need a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). Kilmal can arrange EPC assessments and help property owners ensure their property meets current energy efficiency requirements.
Our experienced team works with homeowners, landlords and property managers to provide fast EPC assessments and practical advice on improving your property’s energy efficiency rating.
What Is an EPC Certificate?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) measures the energy efficiency of a property and provides a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It also includes recommendations on how to improve efficiency and reduce energy costs
An EPC is required when a property is sold, rented or marketed, and must be provided to potential buyers or tenants
Certificates are valid for 10 years, after which a new EPC may be required if the property is sold or let again.
Who Needs an EPC?
You will typically need an EPC if you are:
-
Selling your home
-
Letting a property to tenants
-
A landlord renewing a tenancy after the certificate expires
-
Marketing a property for sale or rent
Landlords must also ensure their property meets minimum energy efficiency standards, which usually means a rating of E or above before the property can legally be rented.
EPC Assessments Arranged by Kilmal
Kilmal can arrange EPC inspections and assessments through accredited energy assessors. The inspection usually involves:
-
Surveying the property structure and insulation
-
Assessing heating systems and hot water systems
-
Reviewing windows and glazing
-
Calculating energy efficiency using standard assessment procedures
-
Producing a full EPC certificate and recommendation report
The process is typically quick and non-intrusive, allowing homeowners or landlords to obtain their certificate without disruption.
