EPC Manchester could save you money

Having an EPC isn't just a new part of property law; it also makes great financial sense. All Enlighten Enviro Commercial EPC ratings are accompanied by an advisory report that outlines ways in which a property's energy efficiency - and therefore Commercial EPC score - can be improved. It goes without saying that the more energy efficient a property is, the cheaper it will be to run. Money can be saved on all fronts, particularly heating costs.

The latest advice suggests that properties with a good Commercial EPC rating are more attractive to prospective buyers or tenants, many of whom want to join the EPC Manchester revolution in order to take advantage of the savings offered by energy efficient buildings. People today are more concerned with saving money and helping the environment and acquiring a high-rating Commercial EPC Manchester is one way of doing both.

An EPC is required when any property is offered for sale or let. Vendors offering homes for sale must provide an energy performance certificate that is no more than three years old, and those offering dwellings to let must be able to provide an energy performance certificate that is less than ten years old.

Detailing the energy efficiency of the property, an energy performance certificate will allow the buyer or tenant to make informed decisions about carbon emissions and possible improvements to energy use, all of which could help them - along with landlords and owners - save money over time.

A surveyor will consider property age, construction type, heating systems and insulation to award an energy performance certificate. Grade A EPC means a home is of the highest efficiency, and should have the lowest fuel bills. An EPC Manchester provides a gauge of what fuel costs you can expect to pay when buying or renting in the area.

EPC Manchester - your key to energy efficient city living

When looking to buy or rent in Manchester, an EPC should always be made available. The EPC Manchester would assist when considering properties in this vibrant and diverse city by assessing their impact on the region.

Many Manchester apartments provide ideal city living conditions, such as St George's Island in Castlefield, Manchester, providing idyllic waterside living. However, an EPC would be required to fully represent the potential environmental impacts of such apartments. An EPC Manchester should also be made available for minimal living apartments such as the Abito Plus studio flats, Greengate, Manchester.

Your EPC Manchester

An EPC is a legal requirement and must be provided free of charge to prospective buyers or tenants. Trading Standards impose a penalty of 12.5% of the property value when an ECP cannot be presented, so it is important to ensure as a seller or landlord you attain an energy performance certificate.

Companies such as Enlighten Enviro can help you to stay in line with EPC legislation, as well as helping you to improve the rating of your energy performance certificate. If you want to be part of the new, greener EPC Manchester, contact Enlighten Enviro for free advice today.
