Energy Performance Certificates
The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) gives home owners, tenants and buyers information on the
energy efficiency of their property. It gives the building a standard energy and carbon emission efficiency grade from A to
G, where A is the most efficient and with the average to date being D.
Home Information Packs
The Home Information Pack (also known as the HIP) is compulsory for all homes on the market in England
and Wales. It is a set of documents that provides the buyer with key information on the property and must be provided by the
seller or the seller's agent.
