What is an EPC?
An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is a report on the energy performance of a property. It will give consumers information about the energy efficiency of the property and offer practical steps to reduce CO2 emissions and reduce fuel bills.

HIPs (Home Information Packs) include documents that are required when homes are bought and sold. Some documents are mandatory and other optional.
The mandatory documents are:
Evidence of title Standard searches An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Commonhold Information (where appropriate) A copy of the lease (where appropriate)
Optional documents include:
A Home Condition Report (HCR) Additional leasehold information Guarantees and warranties Other searches relevant to the particular area
Having this information upfront will enhance the buying/selling process by making it:
Quicker - with reduced transaction times More certain - with a reduction in the number of transactions that fall through More efficient - with a reduction in abortive costs to consumers Smoother - all the above will add up to a process that is less stressful and less confusing.
Prices start from as low as £265.00 inclusive of VAT.
