It assigns an energy rating to each home on a scale which ranges from “A” (the most efficient) to “G” (the less efficient).

It is obligatory for all sellers and lessors to have an energy certificate who are advertising their property for sale or rent. If you do not hold an energy performance certificate then you will be fined.
The energy performance certificates are issued by qualified professional technicians or arquitects who are authorised to undertake building projects and thermal installations for buildings. The technician need to visit the property to take measurements and collect information about the property before drawing up and certifying the report.
