Energy Performance Certificates
		All properties that are being marketed for sale or rental require an Energy Performance Certificate by law. This report will tell a prospective purchaser how efficient the property is to heat, how effective the insulation is and how much carbon emissions the property adds to the atmosphere. The energy rating given can be compared to "miles per gallon (mpg)" for a car. The energy report also includes energy saving measures that can be taken to reduce household bills. These include general recommendations applicable to us all and specific points for that individual property. The proposed measures are recommendations only and a guide price to the possible savings is also given. The overall efficiency is shown on a colour bar chart similar to that seen on a new fridge or freezer. The average rating of a new build property is also shown as comparison and the potential rating if the recommended measures are implemented can also be seen. Please remember that an energy report will be a required part of your Home Information Pack (HIP) for properties that are being market for sale.
