EPC Energy Performance Certificates in Durham

The Energy Performance Certificate or EPC is now fully established as part of HIPs (Home Information Packs) in England and Wales.When selling a home the energy certificate is incorporated into the documents aspart of the Home Information Pack.

At present many homeowners do not have much interest in the EPC, however, inrecent times, with increasing energy costs, potential home buyers and tenantslooking for property to let have been taking more interest in the EPC, as thecertificate does provide projected costs for the home with respect to heating, hot water and lighting on an annual basis.

These costs can help assist the potential purchaser or tenant to make aninformed decision when considering the costs for running a home.

In addition, landlords and home sellers are sometimes unaware of the "added value" that the DomesticEnergy Assessor (DEA) can provide, for example free energy advice and tips
to improve the property SAP Rating which in the longer term can reduce energy
costs for the consumer.

Independent Domestic Energy Assessors can provide this assistance during the
survey of the property. Local energy assessors are availble in all regions of
the UK and can often provide their service at very competitive rates when
dealing direct with the home seller or landlord seeking an EPC for Property
Rental.

A specialised directory is available to help homeowners and property professional alike, to find independent home energy inspectors.
