Regulations require that from 1st October 2008 all landlords will have to provide a valid EPC for their property before it can be let. Failure to comply with the legislation could result in a fine and prevent a landlord from offering the property for rent. We advise organising your EPC as quickly as possible.

This regulation applies to new tenancies only and does not apply to lease renewals by sitting tenants. The EPC must be available to any prospective tenant at the point of viewing or enquiring about the property.

Prospect are able to arrange your EPC for you.  Please call or pop in and we would be delighted to help and advise you of the costs and options.

An EPC assesses the enrgy performance of a property and will make recommendations on how to improve its energy efficiency. A is the highest score that a home can receive and it means that the home has excellent energy efficiency. G is the lowest score, the average score of a home in the UK is a D.
