Frequently asked questions
An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is a legal document that rates your property's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). In Bury, you're required to have a valid EPC when selling or renting out your property. The certificate shows potential buyers or tenants how much it will cost to heat and light your home, helping them make informed decisions.
The average EPC rating in Bury is D. However, it's worth noting that over 60% of properties in the area fall below EPC rating C, which means many homes could benefit from energy improvements. If your property is rated D or lower, you may want to consider upgrades to improve its efficiency and appeal to buyers or tenants.
An EPC certificate is valid for 10 years from the date it's issued. If your certificate is expiring soon and you're planning to sell or let your property, you'll need to arrange a new assessment. It's a good idea to check your certificate's expiry date well in advance to avoid any delays in your property transaction.
Loft insulation is the most recommended improvement for properties in Bury. Given that many homes in the area were built between 1900-1929, they often lack adequate insulation. Adding or upgrading loft insulation is typically cost-effective, 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.
If you're renting out a room in your home where you also live, you don't need an EPC. However, if you're letting out the entire property or a self-contained flat, an EPC is a legal requirement. It's best to check the specific circumstances of your rental arrangement, as regulations can vary. If in doubt, contact your local council or a letting agent in Bury for clarification.
