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 Halton, you must have a valid EPC when selling or renting out your property. It shows potential buyers or tenants how much energy your home uses and what it costs to run. The certificate is valid for 10 years.
The average EPC rating in Halton is D. However, around 60% of properties in the area fall below EPC rating C, which means many homes have room for improvement. If your property is rated D or lower, making energy efficiency upgrades could increase its value and appeal to buyers or tenants.
Mid-20th century properties are common in Halton and often have lower EPC ratings due to older construction standards. The most recommended improvement for homes like yours is loft insulation, which is cost-effective and can significantly boost your rating. Other upgrades include cavity wall insulation, double glazing, a modern boiler, and draught-proofing. Start with loft insulation for the best return on investment.
An EPC certificate typically costs between £50 and £120 in Halton, depending on your property's size and the surveyor you choose. This is a one-time cost that's valid for 10 years. You'll need a new certificate if you're selling or letting out a different property, or if your previous certificate has expired.
Yes, and it's often worthwhile. Since 60% of Halton properties are below EPC C, improving your rating can make your home more attractive and potentially increase its value. Loft insulation is the most recommended first step and offers good value. Even modest improvements can move your property from D to C, which appeals to more buyers and may help with mortgage applications.
