What is an EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a document that provides information about the energy efficiency of a property. It includes a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and offers recommendations for improving energy efficiency.

Who Needs an EPC?

An EPC is legally required for any property being sold or rented in the UK. Landlords must obtain an EPC before marketing their property to tenants. The certificate must be available for prospective tenants to view when considering renting the property.

How Long is an EPC Valid?

An EPC is valid for 10 years from the date of issue. If significant changes are made to the property, such as insulation upgrades or new heating systems, obtaining a new EPC is recommended to reflect improved energy efficiency.

Minimum EPC Rating Requirement

The minimum EPC rating for private rented properties in England and Wales is E. However, this requirement is set to change to a minimum rating of C by 2030. This means landlords will need to improve the energy efficiency of their properties to meet new regulations and avoid penalties.
