Solicitors

We appreciate many solicitors prepare their clients Home Information Packs 'in house' and we are used to preparing EPCs for solicitors to include within such HIPs. On receipt of your instructions and clients' details we wll make an early appointment to carry out a survey and forward the EPC details to you as quickly as we can. You can be assured of a professional courteous service to you and your client. The EPC can be provided electronically or by a hard copy if preferred.

You are no doubt aware that your landlord clients are now required to have an EPC available when offering a property to rent so that prospective tenants know its energy rating before commiting to the rental agreement.

Also, even if any of your seller clients did not require a HIP when putting their home onto the market, an exchange of contracts for the sale after 1st October 2008 requires the seller to provide the buyer with an EPC even if there is no HIP required.

Agents

Whether you are acting for residential landlords or residential sellers, we can provide your clients EPCs quickly and effiently to ensure you and your clients comply with the latest regulations as recently amended by the CLG. (See above and Homeowners/Landlords page for latest requirements). NB You or your clients could be liable for a £200 fine if Trading Standards find non-compliance with the HIP/EPC Regulations.
