Following the change of government in May 2010, it is no longer necessary to have a Home Information Pack to sell your home. However you are still required to commission, but not necessarily have received, an EPC before we commence any marketing. The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is an energy assessment and rating of a property. The EPC contains graphs similar to those found on new electrical appliances (see image below). It comprises two elements; an Energy Efficiency rating and an Environment Impact (CO2) rating. Both ratings are awarded two values; the first value is for 'current' ratings and the second value is for the 'potential' rating the property could achieve if it were to be modernised to current building/energy regulations.
