From June 1st, any house being put on the UK market for sale will require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) as part of a home information pack for potential buyers. This will show how energy efficient a home is on a scale of A-G (similar to that on fridges etc). It will also show it’s CO2 output rating.
Recommendations will also be made as to how to improve the energy efficiency, reduce energy use, reduce CO2 output and reduce fuel costs.
There will be a cost to the homeowner to have an EPC done but that will be counterbalanced by energy savings and a reduction in global warming.
Your views please – good or bad?
