| Saving Money on Energy Performace Certificatees
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) shows the official energy efficiency rating of a property. EPCs are already required as part of the Home Information Pack (HIP) and from 1st October 2008, they will be required on all rental properties upon change of tenant.
Every Little House Company instruction is managed from start to finish by our dedicated schedulers ensuring that each appointment is made for the Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) normally within 48 hours of receiving the instruction.
The DEA will undertake the EPC and upload it to a dedicated database and it will be available to you within 24 hours of completion.

What the law says about Energy Performance Certificates
When you are selling property privately like any other seller in England & Wales means that you will need a Energy Performance Certificate in fact the Energy Performance Certificate is required by law when a building is constructed, sold or put up for rent. Once you have an EPC for a home for sale, it's valid for three years.
So What is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
The Energy Performance Certificate gives home owners, tenants and buyers information on the energy efficiency of their property. It gives the building a standard energy and carbon emission efficiency grade from ‘A’ to ‘G’, where ‘A’ is the most efficient. The average efficiency grade to date is 'D'.
Why has the government introduced Energy performance Certificates
Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) are being introduced to help improve the energy efficiency of buildings.
If you are buying or selling a home you now need a certificate by law. From October 2008 EPC's will be required whenever a building is built, sold or rented out. The certificate provides 'A' to 'G' ratings for the building, with 'A' being the most energy efficient and 'G' being the least, with the average up to now being 'D'.
EPC's can only be produced as a result of a survey by an ‘accredited’ Domestic Energy Assessor. EPC's are used to collect standard information on the property – for example, its size and hot water/heating systems. The information is then fed in
to a government-approved software programme which produces the EPC . The Hips supplied by our supplier include a EPC.
How much does an Energy Performance Certificate Cost?
The price of an EPC is set by the accredited organisations which issue them. When you obtain a Home Information Pack, the overall cost should include that of an EPC. If you apply for an EPC on its own then the cost for an average house is approximately £100.
How long will it take to get one?
Obtaining an EPC for an average sized home is likely to take the same time as a house valuation report. The exact time will vary from property to property.

Selling a Home? You don't have to give
up an existing agent to sell your home
privately
Private
advertising
does not conflict with a Sole Agency contract.You
don't have to give up an existing agent to use ou
service, but you COULD save the agent's commission if you find a buyer
yourself.
If you price
your property fairly,
you will get a good response from our
advertising - if not, you have the facilities to edit and modify the details
to refine the advertising until you get the right response level. Once we
generate the enquiries, the rest is up to you - as stated above, we don't
sell the
property, you do, so ultimately success is in your hands (but we help a
bit!). Read the details on our main SELLERS and
FAQ (frequently asked questions) pages
- information about our fees, advertising partners and the websites we
publish on you will find there. To get the best out of the service, read
