Energy Reports

EPC assessments Isle of wight

In addition to our EPC (energy performance certificate) services, we also offer Energy Reports. An energy report provides information on how your property will rate from A to G the same as an EPC. The difference is it is not a full EPC certificate and is not uploaded onto the national EPC register. 

​

Energy reports can provide landlords, managing agents and property owners with a 'as it is now' insight into their property. They are produced following the exact same methodology and using the same software that calculates an EPC rating.

​

Our Energy Report and EPC services are currently available in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight ( IOW ) and in surrounding south coast areas. 

​

What is an EPC?

​

An energy performance certificate, in simple terms, rates the energy performance and associated costs of your property from A to G, with A being the most efficient and G being the least efficient. To legally let or rent out your house, the property must be rated E or above. To sell your property, it can be any rating. 

​

Do I need an EPC?

 

Energy performance certificates are required whenever you sell, rent out or let out your property. This includes holiday lets that are available for let for more than four months each year although there are some exemptions. 

​

An EPC check requires a visit to be undertaken by our registered energy assessor, who will review the property features and existing energy measures. Contrary to popular belief, it is not the assessor who determines the rating, instead it is sophisticated software which takes into account the energy measures and features found and seen at the property to produce a rating and EPC certificate. Recommendations on how to improve the energy rating including indicative costs will also be provided on the certificate. 

​

EPCs are valid for a period of 10 years so your property may already have one, although the property owner can request a new one is undertaken at any time. It is good practice to request a new EPC whenever you are selling or letting your property out, especially if an existing EPC is several years old and modifications have been made to the property since it was reviewed.

 

The Labour government has re-introduced plans for all properties that are being let out must have a minimum C rating. Currently this is planned for 2030 for all new tenancies.
