An energy performance certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement for landlords who wish to let their property. An EPC provides information on the energy efficiency of your property and provides recommendations on how you can improve its energy efficiency. This helps to reduce carbon emissions and lower energy bills for tenants, making your property more attractive to potential renters.
In addition to an EPC, you may also need a gas safety certificate, an electrical safety certificate and a legionella risk assessment certificate. Our letting agents can provide guidance on which certificates you need and help you to arrange for them to be carried out.
