ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATES (EPC)

From 1 October 2008 sellers and landlords will be required by law to provide an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for all buildings or parts of buildings when they are sold or rented.  Those carrying out the construction of a building will be required to provide an EPC to the owner.

An Energy Performance Certificate gives prospective buyers or tenants information on the energy efficiency and carbon emmissions of a building.

An EPC can only be issued by a Licensed Assessor.  Once issued the EPC is valid for 10 years.

Currently there are transitional arrangements in place but from 4 January 2009 all Commercial buildings available for sale or let will be required to have an EPC in place.  This should be made available to a prospective buyer or tenant at the earliest opportunity and no later than when a viewing is conducted.
