Working With (3) (1)
Annual Mortgage Statements (5)

Welcome! You've been directed here because your new mortgage with Foundation Home Loans (Foundation) includes a free EPC from Vibrant, PLUS Vibrant’s expert support service for making energy improvements to the property. We call this the EPC Plus (EPC+)

What is EPC Plus

EPC Plus goes beyond the standard Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) by offering you a comprehensive service tailored to your needs. Here's what you get:

  1. Personalised Assessment: Experienced assessors conduct an inspection of your property during a home visit arranged at a convenient time for you.
  2. Up-to-Date EPC: Receive an updated Energy Performance Certificate reflecting your property's current rating, valid for a decade.
  3. Detailed Insights: Gain valuable insights into your property's full potential with a detailed report. A suggested maximum EPC rating achievable for your property and outline the steps needed to reach it.
  4. Expert Support: Access to Vibrant's technical team for any queries you have after receiving your comprehensive report
  5. Transparent Cost Estimates: Detailed quotes showcasing the cost of recommended improvements using contractors from Vibrant’s carefully selected panel.
  6. Flexibility: Choose whether to utilise Vibrant's services for a fee or opt to carry out the works through your own contractors.

The EPC Plus Service is not available on properties constructed within the last 10 years, as these will have had a Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) EPC created at the time of construction and these provide an accurate assessment of a property’s energy efficiency and are valid for 10 years.

Who are Vibrant?

To extend this opportunity, we've partnered with Vibrant, a leading provider of EPCs in the UK, assisting numerous homeowners annually. Vibrant is affiliated with Connells Group, sharing ownership.

How it works

Vibrant will come out to the property and carry out the survey to provide a specific and personal EPC rating, and a detailed breakdown of improvements that can be made in order to enhance the energy performance of the property.

You will have access to Vibrant’s expert advice process on how you can improve your property’s EPC rating up to a C or above standard.

All of this is included in your 'EPC Plus' mortgage product.

Should you wish to carry out the works to improve the EPC rating of your property you can choose to either carry out the works using your own contractors, or use Vibrant to carry out and project manage the works for a fee.

Should you opt to use Vibrant to carry out and project manage the works, this will be subject to an agreement entered into between you and Vibrant directly. Foundation will have no involvement in this process.
