PEB on rental

Hi,

The whole PEB thing is a "big Joke".

The agents who deliver those certificates require building owners to provide proof of insulation costs incurred. In 90% of the cases, isolation has indeed taken place, but the evidence is no longer available because 10 years ago no one could have suspected that this system would be introduced. However, the experts do not conduct a destructive investigation to find out the real situation (which would be very simple and cheap by the way) and therefore give the lowest score out of convenience, which is also the worst. So many homes and apartments have a G certificate.

Only new construction less than 5 years old can have a C certificate.

So not really anything to worry about.

Thanks for your response Roger. It reads like I thought might be the case , i.e. can't prove it -assume the worst

I find it hard to correlate it to the UK EPC cert as it seems to be similar but very different at the same time !

Have you any guidance on energy bills or is it very much up in the air at the minute?

Thanks again.
