Energy Performance Certificate

Posted: 05.05.2009

It has been a legal requirement, since 1 October 2008, for all landlords to have a valid EPC for their property before it can be let.

An EPC assesses the energy performance of a property, from "A" representing the most energy efficient property to "G" representing the least energy efficient property. It must be carried out by a qualified Domestic Energy Assessor and will also show a building’s environmental impact by indicating its carbon dioxide emissions.

A valid EPC will last for 10 years and can be used for multiple tenancies within that period.

Redbrick are able to arrange for an EPC to be carried out on your behalf in order to avoid any delays letting your property.
