- Energy Performance Certificates
- 2009-10-06: Some new legislation has come into force recently (well, maybe in the last year) that says before you market a rented property (here in the UK), you must first have an energy performance certificate that gives the property an energy rating from A (fab) to G (less than fab).
- The idea is that the purchaser will get a hint about their future energy bills and how much they personally are about to commit to contribute to the destruction of the planet and everyone on it, and given that G rated properties will attract lower rents than A rated ones, encourage the landlord to lag the boiler.
- Sounds like a good plan, actually. Except that all additional costs of business are eventually born by the customer. But then, that's a shortsighted way of looking at it. Doesn't the money the landlord pay to the EPC provider then go to the EPC provider's staff's wages which they then spend, perhaps on whatever it is the person renting does for a living? It's all the same money spinning around. It blows my mind, like trying to think of a colour we haven't seen before.
- Anyway, I have a new client who will, upon request, provide you with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) in Scarborough, Yorkshire, or Humberside or maybe further.
- It's not my website, I've inherited it.
