The EPC regulation changes are due to start taking effect in 2025 and with the ongoing threat of rising energy bills, now is a good time to take a look at any recommendations to improve the energy efficiency of your properties.   

Properties with higher EPC ratings are generally more attractive to potential home buyers or renters; the more energy efficient a home is, the less it will cost to heat and light.  EPC reports often contain the following recommendations:

Internal and external wall insulation;

• Floor and loft insulation
• Double or triple glazing
• Low-energy lighting; and
• Solar panel installation.

With less than two years to go until the EPC Regulations come into force, don't be caught out; failure to acquire a valid EPC could result in financial penalties.
