Welcome to: I Rate Energy 01323 646900
We provide an efficient and professional Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) service to Eastbourne and the surrounding area.
From 1st October 2008 all residential properties marketed for sale or to-let need to display an energy performance certificate (EPC) to potential buyers / tenants. Failure to comply could result in a £200 fine.
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are an important part of the recently introduced Home Information Packs (HIPs) and are now a mandatory requirement for all domestic properties before they are marketed for sale.
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) can only be produced by a qualified Domestic Energy Assessor. An EPC graph (see image below) gives purchasers an insight into how energy efficient a property is, and if certain measures are taken, how the property's efficiency could be improved. A second graph displays the property's current and potential environmental (CO2) impact rating.
As well as being available to view within the Home Information pack, Estate Agents also display the EPC graph on their property particulars and within online property details on portals such as Rightmove and Prime Location.
Choosing a HIP provider can seem a daunting task. There are many different packages on offer and many different companies offering various prices and packages. You may choose an Estate Agent who is offering to produce Home Information Packs (HIPs) as part of their commission fee. Alternatively your solicitor / conveyancer may offer to put the HIP together for you. Whichever route you chose, the Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) that produces the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is likely to represent several different providers.
I Rate Energy will produce Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) on behalf of all HIP providers, Solicitors, Estate Agents and private individuals in the East Sussex area. Our rates are competitive with the assurance of a very high level of service
