Did you know that Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are required when any building is sold, rented out or constructed.
EPCs give information on a building's energy efficiency in a sliding scale from 'A' (very efficient) to 'G' (least efficient). Every EPC also has a recommendations report showing how you could improve the rating and make the property more attractive to tenants. EPCs for sales property's are valid for 3 years, EPCs for rental property's are valid for 10 years.
Landlords
Private residential landlords are legally required to provide an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) when renting out a home to new tenants.
Landlords must give a copy to prospective tenants when they view a property, when they ask for any written information about a property and before any rental contract is signed. It remains valid for ten years and can be used for all new tenants in that period.
Recommendations
The certificate also includes recommended measures that could improve a property's energy performance. You do not have to implement these, but you may be eligible for financial assistance if you do. See the page on Business Link's website for a guide on financial assistance for improving energy efficiency in a rented property.
