We carry our domestic energy assessments to produce domestic energy performance certificates (EPC's) in Pontypool. From one bedroom apartments to much larger properties, as a local business in Torfaen, we have the ability to survey your property at times that suit you and at an affordable price.
As well being able to produce an EPC in Pontypool as well as in the surrounding areas, we are also able to produce floor plans and retrofit assessments.
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) tells you how energy efficient a property is. You must have an EPC when you’re:
selling a property
renting out a property
building a new property
You must order an EPC for potential buyers and tenants before you market your property to sell or rent.
The Domestic Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard (MEES) Regulations set a minimum energy efficiency level for domestic private rented properties. This means that landlords are unable to rent out or continue to rent out properties that have an EPC rating of F or G.
An EPC is valid for 10 years from the date that it is produced.
You do not need an EPC for:
temporary buildings that will be used for less than 2 years
stand-alone buildings with total useful floor space of less than 50 square metres
industrial sites, workshops and non-residential agricultural buildings that do not use a lot of energy
some buildings that are due to be demolished
holiday accommodation that’s rented out for less than 4 months a year or is let under a licence to occupy
listed buildings - you should get advice from your local authority conservation officer if the work would alter the building’s character
residential buildings intended to be used less than 4 months a year
places of worship
