Domestic New Build EPC

 

Domestic New Build EPCFrom April 2008 ALL  new dwellings require an "On Completion Energy Performance Certificate" or "OCEPC".

bulletNewly built homes are affected by HIPs but there are differences in the way the scheme operates for these properties, particularly in the way that energy performance information is presented.

New homes marketed "off-plan" before they are physically complete will not have a full Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). In these cases, the HIP will contain a Predicted Energy Assessment (PEA).

We offer significant cost savings where we produce both the initial SAP ratings for Building Regulation approval. We are also able to produce the OCEPC where the original SAP calculations have been carried out by someone who is not accredited as an On Construction Domestic Energy Assessor. However, due to the rules of the accreditation scheme we are not allowed to rely on their calculation and must recalculate the data.

When we have carried out these calculations, we will check to find out if the property has been allocated a proper address and if not we will register it. Finally we will submit the EPC to the Government database, where it can be accessed by the client.

The previous rule that any property completed prior to April 2008 is exempt from requiring an EPC will no longer apply.

On Construction EPCs are valid for three years
