Energy Performance Certificates — A Legal Requirement for Every Sale
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement before a property can be marketed for sale. If your EPC has expired — or you don't have one — you'll need to commission one before listing.

Overview
EPCs are valid for ten years. If yours has expired, you'll need a new one before your estate agent can market the property. The certificate rates your property's energy efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and includes recommendations for improvement. The Property Sale Pack Toolkit includes guidance on EPC requirements and how to obtain one.
What this covers
- Checking whether your EPC is current and valid
- Commissioning a new EPC before marketing
- Understanding your EPC rating and what it means for buyers
- EPC improvement recommendations and their impact on saleability
