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 Cheshire East, you're required by law to obtain an EPC before selling or renting out your property. It shows potential buyers or tenants how much energy your home uses and what it might cost to heat and light it.
The average EPC rating in Cheshire East is D. However, around 60% of properties in the area fall below EPC C, meaning many homes have room for energy efficiency improvements. If your property is rated D or lower, you may want to consider upgrades to make it more attractive to buyers or tenants and reduce running costs.
Older properties like mid-20th century houses, which are common in Cheshire East, often have lower EPC ratings due to poor insulation. The most recommended improvement is loft insulation, which is cost-effective and can significantly boost your rating. Other improvements include cavity wall insulation, upgrading heating systems, installing double glazing, and improving draught-proofing. Start with loft insulation for the best return on investment.
An EPC certificate is valid for 10 years from the date it's issued. You'll need a new one if your certificate expires before you sell or let your property. Even if your certificate is still valid, you may want to consider energy improvements during this time, particularly if you're planning to sell or rent out your home soon.
While an improved EPC rating doesn't directly increase your property's market value, it can make your home more attractive to buyers and tenants, potentially leading to faster sales or lettings. Energy efficiency improvements like loft insulation can also reduce your own utility bills and make your property more competitive in the Cheshire East market, where many homes currently rate below EPC C.
