EPC
From 1 October 2008, all properties being let to new tenants will require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). This requirement has been brought about by the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.
The Regulations apply to both commercial and residential properties that are to be rented or sold on the open market from October 1st, 2008. These regulations are to be enforced by Trading Standards. Landlords marketing their properties for sale or rent from this date without an EPC certificate run the risk of being served with a fixed penalty of £200 per property. An EPC is a certificate, very similar to that found on a washing machine or Fridge Freezer. It expresses the energy rating of a building. Its purpose is to indicate how energy efficient your building is. The EPC will provide an energy rating on a sliding scale from A (very efficient) to G (least efficient). The higher the rating, the more energy efficient the property, the attractive the property will become to potential new tenants. Government grants are available nationally, to help Landlords improve the energy efficiency of their properties, details of which can be obtained from your local council.
