Frequently asked questions
An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is a legal requirement when you sell or let a property in East Cambridgeshire. It rates your home's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and provides recommendations for improvements. You must obtain one before marketing your property, and it's valid for 10 years.
The average EPC rating in East Cambridgeshire is D. However, around 60% of properties in the area fall below EPC C, meaning many homes have room for energy efficiency improvements. If you're looking to improve your property's rating, you're not alone in the area.
Mid-20th century properties like yours are common in East Cambridgeshire and often lack modern insulation. Loft insulation is the most recommended improvement in the area and is typically one of the most cost-effective upgrades. It can significantly improve your EPC rating and reduce heating bills. Other improvements might include cavity wall insulation, draught-proofing, and upgrading your heating system.
EPC certificates typically cost between £60 and £120 in East Cambridgeshire, depending on your property size and the surveyor you choose. Prices may vary slightly based on the complexity of your home and the assessor's location within the area. It's worth getting quotes from a few accredited assessors.
As a landlord in East Cambridgeshire, you must provide an EPC to prospective tenants before they view the property. From April 2023, new regulations also require landlords to improve properties to at least EPC E by 2025, and EPC D by 2028. This is particularly relevant given that 60% of East Cambridgeshire properties are currently below EPC C, so plan ahead for necessary upgrades.
