EPC Leeds
If you’re a landlord in Leeds, having a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement before letting or selling your property. At Leeds Property Hub, we help landlords across Leeds understand their EPC responsibilities, ensure compliance, and connect with trusted local assessors.
What Is an EPC?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is an official document that rates the energy efficiency of a property on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It provides key information about the energy use, running costs, and recommendations to improve energy performance.
EPC Requirements for Landlords in Leeds
As a landlord, you must have a valid EPC in place before marketing a rental property. In England, including Leeds:
- The minimum EPC rating for a rental property is E
- Properties rated F or G cannot legally be rented out
- You must provide a copy of the EPC to your tenant before the tenancy begins
- Non-compliance can lead to fines of up to £5,000
How Long Does an EPC Last?
An EPC is valid for 10 years from the date of issue. However, if you make energy efficiency upgrades to the property (e.g., insulation, new boiler, double glazing), it’s wise to get a new EPC to reflect those improvements and possibly achieve a better rating.
What Does an EPC Show?
An EPC includes:
- Energy efficiency rating (A–G)
- Estimated energy costs for heating, lighting, and hot water
- Carbon dioxide emissions
- Recommendations for improving energy efficiency
- Potential rating if recommended improvements are made
This information helps tenants and buyers understand the property’s running costs and environmental impact.
