Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)
Houses sold in Northern Ireland from 1st July 2008 must have an energy performance certificate.
The certificate is an indication of how energy efficient a home is, and the system is already in place in England and Wales.
From 1 July, anyone selling their home will have to pay for a special energy assessor to survey it, and give it a formal certificate.
From October 2008, all new homes will have to have one as soon as they are built.
In relation to existing dwellings which are on sale after 30 June
2008, the Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections)
Regulations (NI) 2008 establishes a legal duty on the relevant
person to make available a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to a prospective buyer. This duty is satisfied by making available (free of charge) a copy of the certificate.

The traditional way to sell your home is via an
Estate Agent. Please remember though that estate agents' fees
are normally between 1.5 and 3% of your property's sale price.
So, if your house sells for say £250,000, you will pay them
anything from £3,750 - £7,500 in commission.
Increasingly, homeowners are making use of the Internet to find
a buyer.
With the internet, it's never been easier to sell your home. As
more and more people decide to sell their property privately,
property websites are invaluable in reaching thousands of potential
buyers. In fact over 70% of home sales originate from an internet
search.
There will still be people in the area who don't have Internet
access. Putting a For-Sale board outside your property will attract
the interest of these people. For-Sale boards are often supplied
as part of an Internet selling package.
