Since October 2008 all private residential property available for let is required to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).An EPC is a legal requirement for new lets and is valid for 10 years.
All tenants must be provided with a copy of the EPC at the start of the tenancy. Grants may be available to tenants in receipt of Local Housing Allowance for some of the improvements mentioned in the report.
Landlords are not under obligation to act on the EPC, but doing so may make your property more attractive to potential tenants.
If you would like to instruct us on your EPC, simply call us on 01244 836636* and we will make the necessary arrangements.
More information is available on the Government’s EPC website – www.direct.gov.uk/EPC
