Frequently asked questions
An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is a legal requirement when you sell or let a property in Broadland. It rates your home's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The certificate shows potential buyers or tenants how much energy your property uses and what it might cost to heat and light it. You'll need one before marketing your property.
The average EPC rating in Broadland is D. However, around 60% of properties in the area fall below EPC C, meaning many homes have room for improvement. If your property is rated D or lower, making energy efficiency improvements could increase its value and appeal to buyers or tenants.
An EPC certificate is valid for 10 years from the date it's issued. If you're selling or letting your property, you'll need a current certificate. If your certificate is expiring soon, you'll need to arrange a new assessment before marketing the property.
Loft insulation is the most recommended improvement for properties in Broadland, particularly given that many homes here are mid-20th century houses which often lack adequate insulation. Adding or upgrading loft insulation is relatively affordable, can significantly improve your EPC rating, and helps reduce heating bills. Other improvements might include cavity wall insulation, upgrading heating systems, or installing double glazing.
Yes, landlords in Broadland must provide an EPC certificate to tenants before they move in. From April 2023, there's also a minimum EPC rating requirement of E for rental properties. If your property doesn't meet this standard, you may need to make improvements or you won't be able to legally let it. Check your current rating and plan any necessary upgrades in advance.
