ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATES

Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) were first introduced in October 2008 as part of Home Information Packs. Following a change in Government policy announced on 20th May 2010 Home Information Packs were suspended, pending abolition.

It is, however, still a requirement to provide an EPC on all properties for sale, a copy of which must be attached to the sales particulars and displayed as a graph, similar to those found on kitchen appliances.

Before marketing can commence an EPC must be commissioned and paid for and must be available within 28 days of marketing at the latest.

At Webbers we have our own fully qualified Domestic Energy Assessors who produce the Energy Performance Certificates. We therefore expect there to be little or no delay in arranging an EPC so as to ensure that a property for sale with Webbers is placed on the market fully compliant with current regulations.
