An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) presents the energy rating of a property to the landlord or owner. The energy efficiency rating scale for a property ranges from A (best) to G (worst).
Property buyers and sellers must have an EPC certificate valid for ten years. Before leasing a property, landlords must obtain an EPC certificate to ensure energy efficiency.
An EPC certificate has the advantage of highlighting areas with high energy consumption. Landlords can then precisely target areas to help tenants save money by increasing the energy efficiency rating.
EPCs will also show the best properties to buy or rent from and energy efficiency perspective.
