EPC’s

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) gives a property an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and is valid for ten years. Anybody selling or renting out a home must have a valid EPC. We are able to organise this on your behalf.

  • Sellers – If the current EPC has expired (i.e. is more than ten years old) a new certificate must be ordered before the property is marketed

  • Landlords – From April 2018, all properties must have an EPC rating of E or above before any new tenancy can be agreed

 If you’ve made improvements to the property you should also consider ordering a new EPC to reflect these improvements in the certificate.

Mortgages

Want to know how much you can borrow? We’ve got you covered.

If you’re looking to move, it’s important to know what you can afford. Whether you’re a first time buyer, a seasoned mover or a buy-to-let investor, you’ll need a qualified financial adviser who can assist you in finding the right mortgage.

Remember, it’s not just the mortgage repayments you need to consider before you move. If you’re buying a home you must also factor in the cost of Stamp Duty, solicitor’s fees, insurances, removals and any initial improvements. If you’re selling a property too you’ll need to include estate agency fees.
