Domestic Energy Assessments for existing properties, based in Ellon and working in the surrounding areas. EPC Certificates will be provided after an assessment. In this page, my aim is to provide you with useful information that can help keep your home warm cheaply and reduce costs on your bills. I will also post advice on Renewables and the latest news from the Government. EPC's are required for
buying, renting and selling a property. It is a legal requirement to have an EPC before you sell your property and to have one before you buy. Certificates are valid for 10 years so be sure to check yours. The Scottish EPC register is open to all on the Scottishepcregister.org.uk
EPC's demonstrate how energy efficient your property is. This is based on the building itself and its services (heating, ventilation and lighting)
The recommendation list helps you to see what's applicable to your property. Such as Renewables, Insulation, Heating and many more. These tools are great ways to improve your home, save energy and help to cut CO2 emissions. Contact Home Energy Scotland on: https://www.homeenergyscotland.org/ for advice and to see if you qualify for a Grant/Loan. For Landlords (PRS) -
By 31st March 2022, a valid EPC rating of at least E to continue to let your property
From 1st April 2022, a valid EPC rating of at least D when a "new tenancy" starts
By 31st March 2025, all properties to show a valid EPC rating of at least D to continue to let your property. A House with multiple occupancy (HMOs) - An EPC is only required when tenants have use of the whole dwelling. When granted use of their bedroom, kitchen and bathroom for example then an EPC is not needed. Holidays lets require an EPC in Scotland and to have it displayed - If you are renting for a combination total of Four months or more in any 12 month period. (Certificates must be printed and affixed to the property such as the boiler room or meter cupboard)
Many thanks,
Lisa.
