When Asbestos CAWR legislation came into play it had a purpose as it saved lives. However EPC's are prepared for the seller of a property who really does not have any gain from the document. I am delighted to see that one company at least admits that although they are a major national provider of EPC certificates their objective is to provide a cost effective solution to the landlord or property owner and not bang on about green issues and carbon foot print etc. As agents all we want is a simple and quick way of getting our clients to comply and at a price which is sensible.
