Can a home owner compile their own EPC?
It is a Government requirement that an EPC is performed by a qualified DEA accredited to a Government licensed organisation (like Northgate). Would you have had the time even if you were legally able to perform an EPC? AccuRating can usually provide a complete pack within a reasonable period and are fully acquainted with the administration requirements associated with performing the EPC. There are also legal and financial implications: What if, by mistake or otherwise, the information contained in the EPC is incorrect and a Buyer makes a legal challenge after buying the property? AccuRating Ltd is covered by indemnity insurance in the event of a successful claim against them up to the value of 250,000.
