EPC rating fallGuardian
•81% Informative
EPC outlines energy performance of a property, from A (best) to G (worst) and recommends improvements that could be made.
Most UK homes have one, and they are supposed to provide a vital insight into how energy-efficient a property is.
Which? says one factor that can contribute to the lack of accuracy’ is that they are valid for 10 years , “regardless of any changes that have been made”.
Rightmove looked at publicly available certificates for homes in Birmingham , Cambridge and King ’s Lynn .
We found several where the “current” EPC was between five and nine years old .
Some figures for the cost of recommended improvements appear to be inaccurate or out of date.
Several of the EPCs suggested “internal or external wall insulation” and put the cost at 4,000-14,000 .
However, the Energy Saving Trust estimates the typical cost of external.
wall insulation at about 12,000 and internal at about 7,500 .
