Energy Performance Certificates
Residential lettings starting on or after 1 October 2008 now require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). To make things easy we have teamed up with Christopher Rodgers (Home and Energy) Ltd to provide EPCs at a discounted flat-rate price of £74, inclusive of VAT, for any residential lettings property irrespective of size. EPCs give a graphic illustration of the energy efficiency of a building and the EPC must be shown to the potential tenant. A property inspection by a Domestic Energy Assessor is required so access has to be arranged. Christopher Rodgers also deal with commercial property EPCs at competitive prices but the discount for members applies only to residential lettings.
