An EPC, or Energy Performance Certificate, is a document that evaluates the energy efficiency of a property. This evaluation is represented as a rating on a scale from A to G, with A being the most energy-efficient and G the least. When you’re looking to sell, rent, or build a property in the UK, you’re required to obtain an EPC.
EPCs are an essential tool for both landlords and tenants as they provide valuable insights into the property’s energy performance. To acquire an EPC, the process typically begins with a short visit from one of our expert assessors at Landlord Certs Ltd.
Our certified assessors meticulously examine various aspects of a property to determine its energy efficiency. Some of the key elements they assess include:
EPCs are a mandatory requirement whenever a property is sold, rented, or built in the UK. Whether you are a homeowner, landlord, or property developer, it’s crucial to understand when and why you need an EPC.
If you’re looking to sell your property, you must acquire an EPC before listing it on the market. This ensures that potential buyers have access to valuable information about the property’s energy efficiency.
For landlords, EPCs are a legal requirement for rental properties. You must provide a valid EPC to your tenants, and failing to do so could result in penalties.
When constructing a new property, obtaining an EPC is part of the building process. It helps ensure that the new property complies with energy efficiency standards.
Energy Performance Certificates are regulated by UK law to promote energy efficiency and sustainability in the property sector. The key regulations regarding EPCs include:
The EPC rating must be displayed in all property advertisements, making it easier for potential buyers or tenants to evaluate the energy efficiency of the property.
EPCs are valid for ten years, meaning that you don’t need to acquire a new certificate each time you put the property on the market.
EPCs also offer recommendations for improving a property’s energy efficiency. While these recommendations are not compulsory, they can be valuable for both buyers and sellers.
