Frequently asked questions
An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is a legal requirement when you sell or let a property in West Northamptonshire. It rates your home's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and provides recommendations for improvements. You'll need one before marketing your property, whether it's a house, flat or other dwelling.
The average EPC rating in West Northamptonshire is D. However, around 60% of properties in the area fall below EPC rating C, which means 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 energy bills.
For older properties like those built in the mid-20th century, loft insulation is the most commonly recommended improvement in West Northamptonshire. This is a cost-effective upgrade that can significantly improve your EPC rating and reduce heating costs. Other typical recommendations for period homes include cavity wall insulation, boiler upgrades, and improved window glazing.
An EPC certificate is valid for 10 years from the date of issue. If you're selling or letting your property, you'll need a current certificate. If your certificate is expiring soon, you'll need to arrange a new assessment before marketing your home.
Yes, absolutely. Making energy efficiency improvements can boost your EPC rating and make your property more appealing to buyers or tenants.
