Changes to EPC Regulations

Idea energy surveys would like to keep all of our existing and potential clients informed about forthcoming changes to the EPC Regulations.

The new regulations, (reference 2452) will come into force on the 6^th April, giving agents and building owners plenty of time to get ready.

The main differences to be introduced by the new regulations will affect the requirements for the production of EPCS .

The big change will be to extend the duties currently imposed on residential property to all buildings to be sold or rented out. In effect, after April 6^th for any building that does not have a valid EPC, an EPC must be commissioned before the building is put on the market. In addition, every effort must be made for the EPC to be obtained within 7 days of the marketing having commenced – a reduction from the current 28 days.

The other significant change will be the requirement for the first page of the EPC to be included with the written particulars. The regulations make it clear what is meant by ‘written particulars’ for both properties for sale or for rent, though they are defined differently, and makes it clear that the definition includes a description made available electronically. This removes the option to include an Asset Rating (the A-G graph) only on the particulars.

If you would like any further information about EPC’s or would like to discuss our rates, please call us now on 01325 352221
