EPC North West - a new dawn
An EPC, or energy performance certificate, can not only help to save the environment, but also put money back in your pocket.
Put simply, an EPC is a certificate that rates the energy efficiency of a building from Grade A to G. They work in much the same way as the energy ratings awarded to electrical goods, giving potential buyers an indication of energy use and - by extension - the costs of running the property.
Not only that, every EPC is accompanied by an advisory report detailing ways in which energy efficiency can be improved. These guidelines are designed to help property owners and landlords save money on their buildings, by highlighting the areas where most gains stand to be made.
Since 1st October 2008, it has been a legal requirement that anyone who intends to sell or let a property must hold a full EPC (or similar appropriate energy performance certificate) showing the building's energy rating.
Understandably for a region that has seen so much political, commercial and social growth over the past ten years, the north west of England is one area at the forefront of energy efficiency in the UK.
There are countless new property developments springing up around the north west, all of them being built to meet new EPC north west standards. The energy performance certificates being awarded to these green-minded developments are among some of the best EPC ratings handed out to date, meaning the so-called 'EPC north west' is home to many of the most environmentally friendly properties in the country.
