Energy Performance Certificates Update

posted: 22/10/2007

Rented properties will require an EPC as from 1 October 2008. This will apply to new tenancies - not existing ones.

When buildings are to be rented out, the landlord is responsible for ensuring a valid certificate is made available to all prospective tenants. For guidance on property particulars and when certificates need to be made available, go to http://www.communities.gov.uk/planningandbuilding/theenvironment/energyperformance/certificates/energyperformancecertificates/certificates-sale/propertyparticulars/ . Further information will be provided as and when it is released.
