FAQs
An Energy Performance Certificate is the product of an energy survey that is carried out by a qualified Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA). The certificate provides 2 separate ratings to show the overall energy efficiency of the property and the associated environmental impact. The certificate includes guidance on how to improve the energy efficiency of the property and reduce heating and hot water costs. EPC is valid for 10 years on all properties.

When will I need an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for our properties?
Under new EU legislation from the 4th January 2009, when buildings are to be rented out, the landlord is responsible for ensuring a valid certificate is made available to all prospective tenants.
How and when should I supply the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?
The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) and recommendation report must be made available free of charge by the seller or a landlord to a prospective buyer or tenant at the earliest opportunity and no later than:
- when any written information about the building is provided in response to a request for information received from the prospective buyer; or
- when a viewing is conducted; or
- if neither of those occur, before entering into a contract to sell or let.An energy performance certificate does not have to be made available if:
- the seller believes that the prospective buyer or tenant is unlikely to have sufficient funds to purchase or rent the property or is not genuinely interested in buying or renting that type of property; or
- the seller or landlord is unlikely to be prepared to sell or rent out the property to the prospective buyer or tenant (although this does not authorize unlawful discrimination)

It is now a requirement in Scotland to have an epc for level 3 and 4 properties which are for sale or rental with an internal gross area in excess of 50M2. It is also a requirement for large public buildings in excess of 1000 sq m.
We are in a position to provide this service. Due to the fact that buildings vary in complexity I ask that you click the link and complete the short questionnaire about the property and send it by email to allow us to give an estimate for the work.
As part of the service it would be our intention to carry out the survey as soon as is practical and to have the report issued within 3 working days.
