Understanding EPCs and Their Significance

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) evaluates a property's energy efficiency and environmental impact, assigning a rating on a scale from A to G, where A represents the highest efficiency, and G indicates the least. Referred to as an EPC, this document becomes a mandatory requirement when selling or renting a property.

For property sales, a valid EPC listed on the official EPC Register is a legal prerequisite for completing transactions. In the realm of the private rental sector, properties must attain a minimum energy efficiency rating of E on their EPC. Properties with an F or G rating are not able to be rented unless a statutory exemption is recorded.

The data provided in the EPC serves to improve property energy efficiency and facilitates potential buyers or tenants in comparing the energy performance of different properties.

The Importance of Sharing EPC Information with Buyers or Tenants

Potential property buyers or tenants should evaluate a property's energy efficiency before committing to a purchase or tenancy agreement. Given the recent escalation in gas and electricity prices, this information holds greater importance than ever before.
