Mortgage customers can now get a free energy performance certificate survey from their building society. An energy performance certificate (EPC) is a document that provides information on the energy efficiency of a property. It is required by law for all properties that are sold, rented or constructed in the UK.
The survey will assess the energy efficiency of the property and provide a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The survey will also provide recommendations on how to improve the energy efficiency of the property.
The free energy performance certificate survey from building societies is part of the government’s Green Deal initiative. The Green Deal is designed to help households reduce their energy bills by making their homes more energy efficient. The scheme is funded by the government and is available to all households in England and Wales.
The free survey is available to mortgage customers who are buying a new property or remortgaging an existing one. The survey will be carried out by an accredited energy assessor and will take around two hours to complete. The assessor will inspect the property and provide a report with a rating and recommendations for improvements.
The survey is free of charge and can help mortgage customers save money in the long run by reducing their energy bills. It can also help them make informed decisions about the property they are buying or remortgaging.
In addition to the free energy performance certificate survey, building societies are also offering other incentives to help customers save money. These include discounts on home insurance, energy efficient appliances and green mortgages.
Mortgage customers should take advantage of these incentives and get a free energy performance certificate survey from their building society. It can help them save money in the long run by reducing their energy bills and making their homes more energy efficient.
