Get a free EPC rating with Skipton Building Society

Are you a homeowner or landlord looking to improve your property’s energy efficiency? Skipton Building Society’s free EPC Plus offer is a great opportunity. Available to members, this service provides a free Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) assessment conducted by Vibrant, a professional energy assessor. An EPC is essential for anyone renting or selling a property, providing a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), alongside actionable recommendations to lower energy costs.

For landlords, having a good EPC rating is especially important as UK regulations now require rental properties to have a minimum EPC rating of ‘E’. Skipton’s EPC Plus can help landlords meet these legal requirements while also improving the property’s overall appeal to potential tenants. The service includes a personalized report outlining practical improvements that could save you money in the long term.

Skipton Building Society operates 88 branches across the UK, offering various services including savings, mortgages, and financial advice. Founded in 1853, it is the UK’s fourth-largest building society, with over one million members. Best of all, there’s no minimum balance needed to qualify for the EPC Plus offer—just being a member gives you access to this benefit.

Quick Tips to Improve Your EPC Rating:

• Upgrade lighting to energy-efficient LEDs
• Improve insulation in walls and the loft
• Install double or triple-glazed windows
• Upgrade to an energy-efficient boiler
• Consider installing renewable energy sources like solar panels

For landlords or homeowners, improving your EPC rating not only helps with regulatory compliance but also increases property value and can significantly reduce energy bills. Skipton members can take advantage of this offer at no cost!
