The energy efficiency rating is a measure of the overall efficiency of a home. The higher the rating the more energy efficient the home is and the lower the fuel bills are likely to be.

EU Directive 2002/91/EC

The environmental impact rating is a measure of a home’s impact on the environment in terms of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The higher the rating the less impact it has on the environment.

Estimated energy use, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and fuel costs of this home Energy use Carbon dioxide emissions Lighting Heating Hot water

Energy Performance Certificate

About this document The Energy Performance Certificate for this dwelling was produced following an energy assessment undertaken by a qualified assessor, accredited by ECMK Ltd, to a scheme authorised by the Government. This certificate was produced using the RdSAP assessment methodology and has been produced under the Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 as amended. A copy of the certificate has been lodged on a national register. Assessor’s accreditation number: ECMK200783 Assessor’s name: Mrs Paula Esclapez Company name/trading name: Paula Esclapez Address: 183 Irby Road Irby Wirral CH61 2XE Phone number: 07717334760 Fax number: 0 E-mail address: [email protected] Related party disclosure: I am not related to the buyer nor seller

If you have a complaint or wish to confirm that the certificate is genuine Details of the assessor and the relevant accreditation scheme are as above. You can get contact details of the accreditation scheme from their web site at www.ecmk.co.uk together with details of their procedures for confirming authenticity of a certificate and for making a complaint.

About the building’s performance ratings The ratings on the certificate provide a measure of the building’s overall energy efficiency and its environmental impact, calculated in accordance with a national methodology that takes into account factors such as insulation, heating and hot water systems, ventilation and fuels used. The average Energy Efficiency Rating for a dwelling in England and Wales is band E (rating 46). Not all buildings are used in the same way, so energy ratings use ’standard occupancy’ assumptions which may be different from the specific way you use your home. Different methods of calculation are used for homes and for other buildings. Details can be found at www.communities.gov.uk/epdb Buildings that are more energy efficient use less energy, save money and help protect the environment. A building with a rating of 100 would cost almost nothing to heat and light and would cause almost no carbon emissions. The potential ratings in the certificate describe how close this building could get to 100 if all the cost effective recommended improvements were implemented.

About the impact of buildings on the environment One of the biggest contributors to global warming is carbon dioxide. The way we use energy in buildings causes emissions of carbon. The energy we use for heating, lighting and power in homes produces over a quarter of the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions and other buildings produce a further one-sixth. The average household causes about 6 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. Adopting the recommendations in this report can reduce emissions and protect the environment. You could reduce emissions even more by switching to renewable energy sources. In addition there are many simple everyday measures that will save money, improve comfort and reduce the impact on the environment. Some examples are given at the end of this report.

RRN: 2998-1010-6294-6801-9090

About the cost effective measures to improve this home’s performance ratings If you are a tenant, before undertaking any work you should check the terms of your lease and obtain approval from your landlord if the lease either requires it, or makes no express provision for such work. Lower cost measures (typically up to £500 each) These measures are relatively inexpensive to install and are worth tackling first. Some of them may be installed as DIY projects. DIY is not always straightforward, and sometimes there are health and safety risks, so take advice before carrying out DIY improvements. 1 Cavity wall insulation Cavity wall insulation, to fill the gap between the inner and outer layers of external walls with an insulating material, reduces heat loss; this will improve levels of comfort, reduce energy use and lower fuel bills. The insulation material is pumped into the gap through small holes that are drilled into the outer walls, and the holes are made good afterwards. As specialist machinery is used to fill the cavity, a professional installation company should carry out this work, and they should carry out a thorough survey before commencing work to ensure that this type of insulation is suitable for this home. They should also provide a guarantee for the work and handle any building control issues. Further information about cavity wall insulation and details of local installers can be obtained from the National Insulation Association (www.nationalinsulationassociation.org.uk). 2 Low energy lighting Replacement of traditional light bulbs with energy saving recommended ones will reduce lighting costs over the lifetime of the bulb, and they last up to 12 times longer than ordinary light bulbs. Also consider selecting low energy light fittings when redecorating; contact the Lighting Association for your nearest stockist of Domestic Energy Efficient Lighting Scheme fittings. Higher cost measures (typically over £500 each) 3 Band A condensing boiler A condensing boiler is capable of much higher efficiencies than other types of boiler, meaning it will burn less fuel to heat this property. This improvement is most appropriate when the existing central heating boiler needs repair or replacement, but there may be exceptional circumstances making this impractical. Condensing boilers need a drain for the condensate which limits their location; remember this when considering remodelling the room containing the existing boiler even if the latter is to be retained for the time being (for example a kitchen makeover). Building Regulations apply to this work, so your local authority building control department should be informed, unless the installer is registered with a competent persons scheme', and can therefore self-certify the work for Building Regulation compliance. Ask a qualified heating engineer to explain the options. About the further measures to achieve even higher standards Further measures that could deliver even higher standards for this home. You should check the conditions in any covenants, planning conditions, warranties or sale contracts before undertaking any of these measures. Building regulations apply to most measures. Building regulations approval and planning consent may be required for some measures. If you are a tenant, before undertaking any work you should check the terms of your lease and obtain approval from your landlord if the lease either requires it, or makes no express provision for such work.

4 Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels A solar PV system is one which converts light directly into electricity via panels placed on the roof with no waste and no emissions. This electricity is used throughout the home in the same way as the electricity purchased from an energy supplier. The British Photovoltaic Association has up-to-date information on local installers who are qualified electricians and on any grant that may be available. Planning restrictions may apply in certain neighbourhoods and you should check this with the local authority. Building Regulations apply to this work, so your local authority building control department should be informed, unless the installer is appropriately qualified and registered as such with a competent persons scheme', and can therefore self-certify the work for Building Regulation compliance. What can I do today? Actions that will save money and reduce the impact of your home on the environment include: • Ensure that you understand the dwelling and how its energy systems are intended to work so as to obtain the maximum benefit in terms of reducing energy use and CO 2 emissions. • Check that your heating system thermostat is not set too high (in a home, 21ºC in the living room is suggested) and use the timer to ensure you only heat the building when necessary. • Turn off lights when not needed and do not leave appliances on standby. Remember not to leave chargers (e.g for mobile phones) turned on when you are not using them. • Close your curtains at night to reduce heat escaping through the windows. • If you’re not filling up the washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher, use the half-load or economy programme.

Contaminated Land Informative: This reply is based on and limited to the information available to us at the time the search is answered. Informative: A negative reply does not imply that the property is free from contamination or from risk to it, and the reply may not disclose steps taken by another council in whose area adjacent or adjoining land is situated. The Environment Act 1995 introduced a contaminated land regime forming part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 which became effective in April 2000. This change saw owner/occupiers become potentially liable for clean up costs as a Class B "Appropriate Person". Local Authorities are now responsible for preparation of reports on contamination in their respective areas and their subsequent local strategy. Local Authorities will intermittently inspect their areas in respect of contamination and take action against those seriously contaminated areas. Registers of remediation notices and contaminated land identified under s.78R must also be kept. These registers do not form lists of contaminated sites; rather sites where Remediation Notices have been served. It is intended that information will also be included with regard to the condition of the land in question. 3.12

Do any of the following apply (including any relating to land adjacent to or adjoining the property which has been identified as contaminated land because it is in such a condition that harm or pollution of controlled waters might be caused on the property)-

(a)

a contaminated land notice;

None. The Register maintained under S.78 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 is currently being compiled.

Radon Gas Informative: This reply is based on and limited to the information available to us at the time the search is answered. Informative: "Radon Affected Area" means a part of the country with a 1% probability or more of present or future homes being above the Action Level. Such areas are designated by the Health Protection Agency which also advises Government on the numerical value of the "Radon Action Level" (the recommended maximum radon concentration for present homes expressed as an annual average concentration in the home. Radon concentrations above the Action Level should be reduced below it and become as low as reasonably practicable). The areas are identified from radiological evidence and are periodically reviewed by the Health Protection Agency or its predecessor the National Radiation Protection Board. Existing homes in Affected Areas should have radon measurements. The present owner should say whether the radon concentration has been measured in the property; whether the result was at or above the Action Level and if so whether remedial measures were installed and whether the radon concentration was re-tested to assess the effectiveness of the remedy. Radon preventative measures are required for new buildings in higher risk areas. For new properties the builder and/or the owners of properties built after 1988 should say whether protective measures were incorporated in the construction of the property. 3.13

Do records indicate that the property is in a "Radon Affected Area" as identified by the Health Protection Agency?
