EPC's for Social Landlords

Energy Performance Certificates (EPC’s) will be required for all Social Housing in England and Wales from October 2008. This has significant implications for registered social landlords in that all your property portfolio will require an EPC before a change of tenant after this date.However, once obtained, a certificate remains valid for up to 10 years.
If a valid Energy Performance Certificate still exists when changing tenants no new certificate is required. Due to the large number of properties to be surveyed the process could start now.

We at Energy Saving Expert can provide all your EPC’s at very competitive rates.

It may be possible for an energy assessor to issue a cloned certificate where the property has not been individually assessed but is considered the same as, or similar to other housing units in a block. e.g. multiple flats in a block of same dimensions, construction and heating. Thus, surveying a percentage of properties can provide a representative sample of all units in a block.
Surveys of properties that require cloned EPC's will have a lower price, this is because the energy assessor requires entry to only some of the dwellings in the block. The remaining EPC ratings can be calculated using the information gathered from the initial energy surveys.

In order to ascertain what properties can be cloned and those that cannot, the Social Housing Provider needs to provide a spreadsheet containing basic details of all the properties. All properties need to be assigned to a group with similar characteristics.Please use our spreadsheet if you do not have one of your own, and send this to us. We will check the spreadsheet to ensure it meets the criteria needed for cloning,and use it when surveying the appropriate number of properties. Download here:Click here to download this file

For Social Sector Landlords from 1st October 2008, when tenants change, you will need to provide a certificate to any prospective tenant. There is no need to obtain a Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for an existing tenancy.
