• EPC - Energy Performance Certificates
From 1 October 2008, all properties being let to new tenants will require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). This requirement has been brought about by the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.

The Regulations apply to both commercial and residential properties that are to be rented or sold on the open market from October 1st, 2008. These regulations are to be enforced by Trading Standards. Landlords marketing their properties for sale or rent from this date without an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) run the risk of being served with a fixed penalty of 200 per property.
