Domestic Energy Assessment

• Gibbons Roscoe Limited can provide you with an energy efficiency rating and an environmental impact rating for your property as it stands on the day of the survey, and the report will make recommendations as to what can be done to improve them both.
• Domestic property accounts for nearly one third of all the UK’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and therefore acts as a major contributor to global warming in the UK.
• The Energy Performance Certificate that will be produced as a result of the survey, can also be used in the marketing of your home, as it is valid for 12 months, and forms a mandatory part of the Home Information Pack.
• Every householder who gets an Energy Performance Certificate with an F or G rating, will be able to apply for discounted help with implementing energy efficiency measures from the Green Homes Service via the Energy Savings Trust (as at July 2009).

• Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) use a simple A–G scale where an ‘A’ rated property is very energy efficient and properties rated ‘F’ or ‘G’ will be much less efficient. A good rating is likely to increase your property’s value.
• In addition, an EPC provides a number of recommended improvements, which are split into categories of cost, and it is your choice to decide which ones are cost effective for you to undertake.
• The average householder could decrease their heating and lighting bills by approximately £300 every year by taking notice of these improvements.
• Every householder who gets an Energy Performance Certificate with an F or G rating, should be able to apply for discounted help with implementing energy efficiency measures from the Green Homes Service via the Energy Savings Trust (as at July 2009).

• The Government has recently highlighted the significance of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), by insisting that the certificate must be the first document in a Home Information Pack and must be attached to the estate agents’ property particulars when marketing your home.
• The Home Information Pack brings together, at the very start of the process, important information (such as local and environmental searches) which used to be collected piecemeal in the days and weeks after an offer had been accepted.
• It helps the seller decide on a realistic asking price, gives the buyer the essential information needed to make a well-informed offer and proceed with the purchase, and greatly reduces the risk of the terms having to be renegotiated due to later disclosure of information.

Through its professional institute, Gibbons Roscoe Limited is able to offer a competitively priced Home Information Pack with on-line tracking – Contact Gibbons Roscoe today for further information and details of costs.
