If you're selling, renting, or managing a property in Barnet, an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement. An EPC assesses the energy efficiency of a property and provides a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The certificate also includes recommendations that can help reduce energy consumption and lower utility costs. EPCs are valid for 10 years and are required before a property can be marketed for sale or let. Professional assessors across Barnet can usually complete the survey quickly, with certificates often issued within 24 to 48 hours.
