Energy Performance Certificates.

Energy Performance Certificates.

Every residential property in England and Wales is now legally required to have a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).

The residential property specialists here at Lanyon Bowdler will ensure your property complies with this requirement as part of the residential conveyancing process, so you can concentrate on your impending move rather than complicated documentation.

What is a Residential Property Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?

An EPC contains information about a property’s energy use and carbon dioxide emissions, along with suggestions and recommendations to help make it more energy-efficient.

Reports have to be produced by an accredited domestic energy assessor (DEA), who will provide an official Energy Performance Certificate.

All residential property must have a valid EPC, whether it is available to rent, for sale, or newly built.

What Information is Included in an EPC?

All properties are given an energy efficiency and environmental impact rating, which take into account things like the heating system, the type of windows and insulation.

Recommendations are given by the assessor which will help improve the energy efficiency of the property.

Selling a house – made easy. A solicitor and team who were friendly, very professional and returned all my calls promptly. At the time of selling my property my elderly father was very ill. I experienced kindness and a great willingness to ensure I could relax and know everything was taken care of.

We recently used Lanyon Bowdler ( Conwy office) for a more complex conveyancing – selling two properties simultaneously and buying one. Highly recommended. The fixed fee made it very clear for us too.

Carey B

Being relatively new to the area it was difficult to select a solicitor for our next move. Having read reviews, we opted for LB; what an excellent choice.
