EPC Regulations

Since 1 October 2008 a landlord or property owner needs to provide an Energy Performance Certificate whenever a home in the social or private rented sector is let to a new tenant or is put on the market to be sold..

The certificate is only required for a property which is self-contained. It is not required when a tenant rents a room and shares facilities, where a tenant has a separate contract with the landlord. 

The EPC and recommendation report must be made available free of charge by a landlord to a prospective tenant at the earliest opportunity.

EPCs are valid for 10 ten years and can be reused as many times as required within that period. If a newer EPC is produced within the ten year period, only the most recent one is valid.

The only person who is able to produce an Energy Performance Certificate is an accredited energy assessor.

New build or home extension

When carrying out New build work or converting an existing home which creates or combines a separate dwelling that has heating, hot water or air conditioning, you may be required to obtain an EPC.
