EPC

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a guide that potential buyers or tenants would review when they look at a property. Its main purpose is to shows how efficiently a home uses energy and an estimate of the cost of running a home. Sometimes they can include recommendations on how to improve the energy efficiency of the property. Government legislation requires that most auction properties will require an EPC. However, there are plenty of exemptions e.g. tenanted properties, uninhabitable properties.
