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 letting out a property. It shows potential buyers or tenants how much it will cost to heat and light your home, and provides recommendations for improvements.
The average EPC rating in Cheshire East is D. However, around 60% of properties in the area fall below EPC C, meaning there's significant potential for energy improvements across the region. If your property is rated D or lower, you may want to consider upgrades to improve its efficiency and appeal to buyers or tenants.
The most common property type in Cheshire East is a house, and most properties date from the mid-20th century. Older properties typically have lower EPC ratings due to outdated heating systems, poor insulation, and less efficient construction methods. If you own a mid-20th century home, you may find your EPC rating is lower than newer properties, but there are cost-effective improvements available.
Loft insulation is the most commonly recommended improvement for properties in Cheshire East. Adding or upgrading loft insulation is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve your EPC rating, reduce energy bills, and make your home more comfortable. Many properties in the area lack adequate loft insulation, making this a priority recommendation from EPC assessors.
An EPC certificate is valid for 10 years from the date of issue. You'll need a new certificate if you're selling or letting out your property after the current one expires. Even if your certificate is still valid, you may want to consider improvements like loft insulation to boost your rating and property value before selling or reletting.
