LANDLORD EPC REQUIREMENTS

Does Your Property Need a New EPC?

An EPC remains valid for 10 years, making it an essential requirement for homeowners, landlords, sellers, and buyers.

You may need a new EPC if your existing certificate has expired, you are selling or letting your property, or you have completed major energy efficiency improvements. Check your property's current EPC status online before booking a new assessment.
