Frequently asked questions
An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is a legal requirement when you sell or let a property in Rotherham. 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 any other type of building.
The average EPC rating in Rotherham is D, with around 60% of properties rated below EPC C. This reflects the age of many homes in the area, as most properties are from the mid-20th century. If your home is rated D or below, you may want to consider energy improvements to make it more attractive 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. You can't use an expired certificate for a property transaction.
For mid-20th century properties in Rotherham, the most commonly recommended improvement is loft insulation. This is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve your EPC rating and reduce energy bills. Other typical recommendations include cavity wall insulation, upgrading heating systems, and improving window efficiency.
Yes, you can make improvements to boost your EPC rating, though you don't need to do this before getting the certificate. Common improvements like loft insulation, draught-proofing, and upgrading your boiler can help. However, remember that any improvements made after your EPC assessment won't be reflected in that certificate—you'd need a new assessment to show the upgraded rating.
