Energy Performance Certificates or Certificado de Eficiencia Energetica (CEE) will become mandatory for properties that are listed for sale or available to rent from the 1st June 2013.
Owners should prepare now, in advance of this legislation as they only have a week after the introduction to apply, failure to comply can result in a fine. The EPC / CEE certificate is aimed at making homes green by reducing their carbon footprint to run more efficiently. What does it actually mean? Your property will be visited and tested by an approved technician who you are free to select and then awarded a score ranging from A to G, A being the most energy efficient and G inefficient. Owner’s do not have to complete any work as a result of the test, it is simply to show the energy efficiency of the property. Obviously those with a better rating will be more attractive to purchasers and tenants. Once issued the EPC / CEE certificate is valid for 10 years unless the property is renovated. A property should be reassessed after making changes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to reflect the improved score. The current property owner is responsible for providing the certificate which should be transferred to the new owner when the property is sold. How much will the EPC / CEE certificate cost? read more » |
