Energy Performance Certificates

The requirement for an Energy Performance Certificate has been set by a European Directive which all member states have to implement. The EU found that a significant proportion of energy was being used by commercial and residential properties. Small increases to the energy efficiency in the millions of properties across Europe will result in a significant overall reduction in energy usage.

When at the property the Mortgage Keys Energy assessor will collect key information that affects the energy efficiency of a property. For example, the depth of insulation in the roof will be measured as will the efficiency of the boiler. All this data is entered into EPC software which calculates the energy efficiency and produces a result on an easy to read A-G scale.
The energy report includes energy saving recommendations that can reduce household bills. These recommendations are easy to understand and set are out showing an estimated saving through the year.

The overall efficiency is shown on a colour bar chart similar to that used on white goods (shown below) along with the potential rating if the recommended measures are implemented.
The Certificate also tells you, on a scale of A-G, about the impact the home has on the environment. Better-rated homes should have less impact through carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

The prices for EPC’s start from as little as £55 inclusive of VAT and are valid for 10 years!

Home Information Packs

A Home Information Pack contains important information that buyers and sellers need to know. Home Information Packs including Energy Performance Certificates were implemented on a phased basis which started on 1 August 2007.
Since 14 December 2007 every home put on the market, no matter what size, must have a Home Information Pack.
Providing a Pack upfront should reduce the likelihood of any nasty surprises in the selling process that could delay the sale, as buyers will be able to make more informed decisions about purchasing their home.

What does a Pack contain?

Compulsory Documents:

• Home information Pack Index
• Energy Performance certificate
• Sale Statement

• Evidence of title

Additional documents are required for leasehold and common hold properties.
