What Is An EPC Report?
An Energy Performance Certificate sets out the energy efficiency of a property on a traffic light system of A to G, with A being the most efficient.
An EPC provides an indication of how much it will cost to improve the energy rating of your customers' property with indicative costs for changes.
Recommendations which will lessen the environmental impact of the property can include:
- ✔ Better insulation
- ✔ Improving double glazing
- ✔ Low-energy lighting

What Are The Benefits For My Customer?
This latest offering comes at a time when home improvements are a major reason for funds usage among equity release consumers.
Four in five people see energy efficiency as important, but currently it is estimated that only one in three people are looking to make improvements to the energy efficiencies of their home. This accounts for 15m properties in England and Wales requiring changes to receive an EPC rating of C.

How It Works
The EPC assessment is available to new Classic lifetime
mortgage plan holders on completion.
The survey will be carried out by our third party partner,
Vibrant Energy Matters. Customers will be contacted by the
EPC assessors within five weeks of completion, to confirm
if the customer would like to receive an Energy Performance
review.
