      <image:title>Domestic EPC - What is the process of gaining a domestic EPC?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Energy Apprise will arrange to send a suitably qualified assessor to your property at a pre-arranged time which is convenient for you. The assessor will look over your property and take notes on various elements in relation to how the house is heated, insulated and how hot water is heated. After the inspection, the assessor will produce the EPC which shows the results of the findings. These results can be used to determine the best ways to improve the energy efficiency of the property and help reduce future energy bills.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Domestic EPC</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Domestic Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard (MEES) regulations set a minimum energy efficiency level for domestic private rented properties. The Regulations apply to all domestic private rented properties that are: Let on specific types of tenancy agreement Legally required to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) If you answered Yes to both these questions, and your property has an EPC rating of F or G, you must take appropriate steps to comply with the requirements of the MEES Regulations.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Domestic EPC - When you need to take action to improve your property to EPC</image:title>
      <image:caption>Since 1 April 2020, landlords can no longer let or continue to let properties covered by the MEES Regulations if they have an EPC rating below E, unless they have a valid exemption in place. If you are currently planning to let a property with an EPC rating of F or G, you need to improve the property’s rating to E, or register an exemption, before you enter into a new tenancy. If you are currently letting a property with an EPC rating of F or G, and you haven’t already taken action, you must improve the property’s rating to E immediately, or register an exemption.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Domestic EPC - What is The Purpose of an EPC?</image:title>
      <image:caption>An energy performance certificate is required by law on a number of occasions, the main ones being when a property is being put up for sale or rental. An EPC gives a property an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and is valid for 10 years.
