EPCs W6 Hammersmith
EPCs W6 Hammersmith are a legal requirement for all properties being marketed in the W6 Hammersmith area of London. Initially a part of the repealed Home Improvement Packs (HIPs) but now a legal requirement in their own right, property owners can be issued fines of up to £5000 by Trading Standards Officers for failure to obtain an EPC before marketing their property. On top of this significant fine, you will still be legally obligated to have an Energy Performance Certificate produced.
EPCs W6 Hammersmith is a standardised method of assessment between properties and it is used to highlight how energy efficient, or otherwise, the property about to be marketed is. The certificate itself contains a bar chart with ratings from A to G displayed prominently upon it, with A being the most efficient rating for a property and G the least efficient. Your property will be placed at one of the grades on this chart, and the certificate will include several cost efficient recommendations which, if implemented, will improve the efficiency rating of your property in W6 Hammersmith while helping to reduce the amount of money spent on energy bills.
While energy performance certificates are valid for up to ten years, it is strongly recommended that you update your EPC whenever your property undergoes structural changes or undergoes any work which will affect the energy efficiency rating. Examples of such work could be loft insulation, a new boiler or double glazed windows, as all of these improvements will have some effect on the efficiency rating of your property.
If your property in W6 Hammersmith is a commercial property, you are required to obtain a non-domestic or commercial EPC. This follows a very similar format to the residential EPC except that it is a more in-depth survey of the energy efficiency of your commercial property. If your property is used as a restaurant, electrical retailer, café, dentist, clothes shop etc. then you must obtain the commercial or non-domestic EPC.
