Elvet Chartered Surveyors can provide domestic EPCs (Energy Performance Certificates), which rate how efficient a dwelling is, using grades A to G. The most efficient homes are 'A' rated and typically represent those with the lowest fuel bills. Similarly, the EPC also illustrates the environmental impact of the property, with those achieving reduced carbon dioxide emissions attracting higher ratings.

The certificate includes recommended measures, which can be incorporated by the building owner to improve the energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.

Elvet Chartered Surveyors have track record of providing domestic EPCs for social and private landlords who are legally responsible for commissioning and bearing the full cost of the EPC.

Typically, we work with the voids team providing domestic EPCs when required prior to the property being advertised for rent. In addition, we can help shape housing associations investment strategy to reduce their assets' carbon emissions, which in turn benefits the tenants with more thermal-efficient properties whilst helping the environment.

A domestic EPC is valid for 10 years, so if your property was built before 2008, it may be ready for renewal.
