EPC & FLOOR PLANS

Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are needed whenever a property is built, sold or rented. The Home Owner or Estate Agent must order an EPC before you market your property to sell or rent.

An EPC contains information about a property’s energy use and typical energy costs. It also includes recommendations about how to reduce energy use and save money. An EPC gives a property an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and is valid for 10 years.

GREEN EPCS

Customers purchasing or remortgaging a buy-to-let or let-to-buy property with an A, B or C Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating could be entitled to a lower rate on fixed-term mortgages.

Available to customers purchasing or remortgaging a property with an A, B or C Energy Performance Rating. Brokers must validate evidence of an A, B or C Energy Efficiency Rating as part of the application process.
