Which buildings are exempt from providing Energy Performance Certificates?

The following buildings are exempt from requiring an EPC:
· Places of worship,
· Stand-alone buildings of less than 50 square metres (except for dwellings),
· Temporary buildings with a planned time of use of 2 years or less,
· Particular buildings with low energy demand (eg barns).
· In certain limited circumstances buildings to be demolished are exempt from requiring a certificate. An Energy Performance Certificate is not required for any (off-plan) sales or lettings before the construction of the building has been completed.

Energy Performance Certificate and Private Sale

CLG Guidance -- Is an Energy Performance Certificate required for the private sale of a home between two individuals?

"Yes. The EU Directive requires that Energy Performance Certificates will need to be provided for all buildings when they are constructed, sold or rented out. A new Energy Performance Certificate will be required for the Home Information Pack. Where the Energy Performance Certificate is provided separately from a Home Information Pack an existing Energy Performance Certificate may be used as long as it is still valid."

How much will an EPC cost?

"The price of an energy performance certificate (EPC) will be set by the market and not by Government. We expect these costs to vary according to the size, type and location of the property.The current predicted cost of a standalone Energy Performance Certificate for an 'average' home is approximately £100. However, market forces will determine the actual price. For other buildings, the cost will clearly depend on the size and complexity of the building." -- CLG (http://www.communities.gov.uk/)

What is the time taken to perform an Energy Assessment?

"The time taken to perform an energy assessment will vary according to the size and nature of the property. It is predicted that it will take about the same time as performing a housing valuation report. Because of the wide variation of commercial buildings, any form of 'average time' would not be meaningful." -- CLG (www.communities.gov.uk)
