    If you want to get a rough idea about the potential utility bills just ask the vendor to show you theirs - most are happy to do so.


    Totally agree with this! my place is old, built 1836, got a G rating, but looking at the EPC the estimated heating costs are about double what they actually are, even through last winter :eek:
