Frequently asked questions
An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is a legal requirement when you sell or let a property in Rotherham. It rates your home's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), and shows potential buyers or tenants how much it will cost to heat and light the property. You'll need one before marketing your home.
The average EPC rating in Rotherham is D, with around 60% of properties rated below C. This reflects the age of many homes in the area, as most properties are mid-20th century houses which tend to have lower energy efficiency ratings. However, improvements can help raise your rating.
The most recommended improvement for Rotherham properties is loft insulation, which is cost-effective and can significantly boost your EPC rating. Other improvements include cavity wall insulation, upgrading to a modern boiler, installing double glazing, and improving draught-proofing. Your EPC certificate will include specific recommendations tailored to your property.
An EPC certificate is valid for 10 years from the date it's issued. You'll need to obtain a new one if your current certificate expires before you sell or let your property. If you make significant energy improvements, you can request a new assessment to reflect the upgrades.
Yes, landlords in Rotherham must provide an EPC certificate to tenants before they move in. From April 2023, there's also a minimum energy efficiency standard (MEES) requiring rental properties to achieve at least an E rating. If your property falls below this, you may not be able to let it legally without making improvements.
