Energy consumption in our homes accounts for some 50% of the CO2 emissions in the UK. The aim of new regulations brought in across Europe is to provide homeowners, landlords and tenants with the necessary information about their home or property to make effective decisions on implementing energy efficient measures. EU Directive 2002/91/EC on the Energy Performance of Buildings ensure that building standards across Europe place a high emphasis on minimizing energy consumption. Our consultant in Lisburn can offer advice provide you with an EPC and explain any recommendations. Our advice is free and we can inform you of any grants and funding currently available in the Lisburn area for energy saving in the home.
An announcement made by Housing Minister Caroline Flint on the 29th July 2008 sets out a proposal to further enhance the home buying and selling process for consumers in the Lisburn area an throughout the UK by presenting information in a simpler way, up front in a Home Information Pack. The consultation is open until 30 September.
The energy assessment will take 45 minutes to an hour at most depending on the size of the property, once the assessment has taken place your EPC will be emailed to you or to who ever requires it within 24 hours. Your Lisburn EPC is also lodged on a governmental database, where all records are stored for 20 years.
