Chestnut Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 The HIPS pack should include the EPC (or PEA = Predicted Energy Assessment) as a compulsory document. Visit http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/HomeAndCommuni...packs/DG_171807 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Oops! Reading on....... Further information from gov website above states that a PEA should be replaced by an EPC when the new home construction is complete. Perhaps someone with experience should answer this!

Melboy Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 New homes do come with the equivalent certificate of an EPC as provided by the developer of the property. Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
