Q.
What is the current
rating and what might
it take to improve the
rating?
The current rating that is required
to be able to rent and sell a
property is E.
The most suitable improvements
for the property (according to
EPC methodology which favours a
fabric first approach) will be shown
on the recommendations that
can be found on the certificate.
It also shows what installing the
recommendation could see the
EPC rating change to. See example
opposite.
It is worth understanding that there
are other ways to improve the
energy performance of a property
that may not be listed on the
recommendations.
Generally to improve the rating at
little cost the property owner can:
install low energy lighting
apply draught proofing to old doors and windows
ensure the hot water cylinder is well insulated
These can all help increase the rating of your EPC.
