EPC Bishop Auckland

The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) of 2002 requires that all existing Domestic & Commercial properties in Bishop Auckland that are to be sold, rented or leased require an EPC or Energy Performance Certificate for the property. Additionally, for new housing a SAP calculation or Standard Assessment Procedure is required and for commercial properties in Bishop Auckland a BRUKL Report or Building Regulations UK, Part L (or SBEM Calculation) is required.

With the introduction of the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) legislation in April 2018, if you are a landlord or letting agent in Bishop Auckland and your property has an EPC rating of F or G, it cannot be rented until work has been completed to improve the energy rating to a minimum of an E. We can help you to improve the energy efficiency of your property in Bishop Auckland and provide you with advice on the least disruptive and most cost effective way to improve the energy rating of your building.

You will also be asked to produce a Domestic EPC or Commercial EPC when applying for the Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme or the Non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme for a property in Bishop Auckland.
