EPC Compliance

The trading standards divisions of local authorities are responsible for ensuring that, when required, buildings have an Energy Performance Certificate. EPC non-compliance will result in a penalty.

• There is a penalty charge of £200 for domestic properties for non compliance and the EPC must still be produced.
• For commercial properties the indications are that this may be based on 12.5% of the rateable value of the property in question, with a minimum of £500 and maximum of £5,000.

An EPC is valid for up to10 years unless the property is let, altered or sold in which case only the newer EPC is valid.

We believe that having the flexibility to accommodate the client’s needs together with total client satisfaction and a competitive quotation strategy is key to growing a successful business.
