Acura Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Hello all Last December I needed 3 EPCs doing at the same time. My management agency wanted £85 per property. Being the frugal landlord that I am I shopped around and found a company that would do them for £45 as they were all close together. Passing on the info in case anyone else needs them doing reasonably priced EPC Online www.epconline.co.uk www.energyperformancecertificates.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richlist Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 £45/£50 per EPC is the going rate in my part of Essex. Your agents probably just tried adding their bit for arranging things .......and felt able to justify it if you were overseas at the time and might have found it difficult or time consuming to arrange yourself.

Melboy Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Same for my area........£45/£55 for an EPC and probably a bit cheaper if multiple properties are going to be done at the same booking. I paid £45 for a flat earlier this year. Don't forget new EPC regulations come into force in 2020 On 1st April 2020, the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rules that came into force in April 2018 will expand to include all tenancies, including ongoing ones.That means that if you have a property with an EPC rating of F or G, then you only have six months left to make improvements and get your property re-assessed with a score of E or above.The improvements required could be considerable, and we expect tradespeople to be very busy near the deadline. So we’d recommend booking the work as soon as possible if this applies to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carryon Regardless Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 The rating of F or G being a failed property, is this only for the energy rating or the environmental impact rating also? Is the assessment outcome still using the same criteria for the ratings, or have there been changes that can change the score? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richlist Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Let's face it......it's got to be a very, very poor property to achieve an F or a G. I'd probably go further to suggest that a property with an F or a G rating would not form part of a professional landlords portfolio. Most of my 30 + year old properties just about get a C rating .......they have no cavity wall insulation, minimal loft insulation, ancient electric storage heaters etc, etc. It makes me wonder what sort of features a property rated F or G has to have to get such a low rating.

Mortitia Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 I think the key thing here is that Acura asked his agent to recommend someone - back hander paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
