Energy Performance Certificate ( EPC)

Energy Performance Certificate

energy performance Correct

From the 1st of October 2008 all Landlords need to provide an Energy Performance Certificate whenever a home in the social or private rented sector is let to a new tenant. The certificate is only required for a property which is self-contained. It is not required when a tenant rents a room and shares facilities, where a tenant has a separate contract with the Landlord. The EPC and recommendation report must be made available free of charge by a Landlord to a prospective tenant at the earliest opportunity. EPCs are valid for ten years and can be reused as many times as required within that period. If a newer EPC is produced within the ten year period, only the most recent one is valid.

Who will enforce the legislation?

Local Authority Trading Standards Officers are responsible for the enforcement,  fines of up to £200 per property could be issued for non-compliance with the legislation.
