We’re in the process of moving house and although our EPC is about 4-5 years old, the buyers want us to produce a new one to show it’s gone up a category as potentially they may rent out the property at a later date so need a minimum of grade E
As we live in a 1900 terraced house the current rating is F - this was done by the previous owners when we bought the house about 4 years ago
Since then we’ve had the old dated back boiler replaced with new Worcester combi boiler with Nest thermostat (year old), new radiators through out, replaced the last two single glazed windows in the utility to double glazed, replaced the old wooden front doors with composite door, changed all light bulbs to LED or low energy and topped up the insulation in the loft recently
I’ve not got much experience with EPCs but the estate agents have said the sale hinges on the outcome of this; will the above be sufficient to increase a band or will more be required?
