Energy Performance Certificates The clock is ticking

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates both the energy efficiency and environmental impact (C02 emissions) of your home to home buyers.

The regulations state that an EPC must be ordered before marketing commences and be made available at the earliest opportunity to potential buyers and tenants - certainly before exchange.

For Northern Ireland, an Energy Performance Certificate is required from 30th June 2008, but only as a standalone document - a Home Information Pack is not a requirement.

In Scotland, Energy Performance Certificates come into effect from 1st December 2008 as part of the Home Pack, or Home Report.

Energy-Performance-Certificates.org (this site) aims to guide, inform and hopefully offer some self-help tips to maximise the energy rating of your home and, well, save money!
