Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)?

Question

I am renting out my flat and I have been told by my agents (Foxtons) that from 1st October I need an EPC. They have quoted me £115 plus VAT to do this. Is this a reasonable price?

Answer 1

That is an average price I've heard of some people doing them for as little as £50 though.  

Answer 2

Its probably a fixed fee and does not seem to high , make sure you ask for a copy of the report and cert , to prove someone actually called to survey the flat for epc , this type of cert is open to easy fraud , because unlike a building survey , there is no real harm if there is an error on the grade
