Get the most from your EPC

Most properties in the UK have an Energy Performance Certificate ("EPC"). It gives the property an energy efficiency rating from A (best) to G (not so great).

Good for the environment

Higher EPC ratings suggest a property could be more energy efficient and can be linked to lower emissions.

Good for you too 

Every EPC includes ways to improve your property s energy efficiency. This could: 

• Lower your energy bills. Improving energy efficiency in your home could help reduce how much energy it uses.
• Earn you better mortgages and loans. Some lenders are making better mortgages, terms or offers available for high-rated properties.
• Increase your property's life and value. Properties that are better insulated and water-proofed can sometimes last longer.
• Lower your maintenance costs. Energy efficient properties can involve less maintenance. (If you re a landlord this might mean a better rental yield).
• Make it easier to sell or let. Smart buyers and renters prefer more energy efficient properties, because their ongoing expenses could be lower.
• Qualify for funding support. Grants help you make vital improvements. Grants help you make vital improvements.

The bottom line? Improving your EPC rating doesnt just bring the peace of mind that comes from doing the right thing. It can help bring real financial benefits too.
