What is an EPC for?
Sale and Remortgaging of a Property
Every domestic property needs to have a valid EPC when put on the market. Even if it is being sold privately an EPC is required. The better the rating, the more attractive the premises will look to potential buyers. Mortgage Companies are increasingly asking for a valid EPC to remortgage a property: the better the rating, the better the interest rate.
