LATEST NEWS - EPCs
From 1st October 2008, it will be mandatory for all landlords to be produce an Energy Performance Certificate for every flat/house,
whenever there is a new contract.
An Energy Performance Certificate shows the energy efficiency, environmental impact ratings, the cost to provide lighting, heating
and hot water to the home and any recommendations made by the assessor.
The legislation states the following:
a.. The certificate needs to be done on all new properties and tenancies from 1st October 2008 - This means that the EPC must be in place before a property can be marketed.
b.. A copy must be provided to any prospective tenant if they request to see it.
c.. A copy must be given to all new tenants regardless of them asking for it.
d.. The legislation does not restrict a property to be marketed even if it comes back with a poor rating.
e.. EPCs are valid for 10 years
f.. If you do not have an EPC after the 01 October 2008, you could be fined £200+ for non compliance.
