If it is not the assessor arranges for the address record to be created. The assessor finalises the SAP calculation and creates the Energy Performance Certificate this provides a rating of energy performance based upon the dwelling as built.
The EPC must, by law, be displayed in a new dwelling put up for sale on the open market.
