Energy Certificate

Energy Performance Certificate is yet another document which is legally required when renting out your property. The good news is that once your property passes the test, your certificate will last for 10 years. Should the test fail, our engineer will suggest what steps to take in order for your property to pass this test.

As from the 1st April 2018, any property rented out in the private rented sector, will be required to have a minimum rating of E for the energy performance on an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). The new regulations will come into force for new lets and renewals of tenancies with effect from 1st April 2018 and for all existing tenancies on 1st April 2020. It will be illegal to rent a property which does not meet the new requirements, unless there is an applicable exemption. A civil penalty of up to £4,000 will be imposed for breaches. There are separate regulations effective from 1st April 2016 under which a tenant can apply for consent to carry out energy efficiency improvements in privately rented properties. For most landlords this will mean that they will no longer be able to rent out a property with a rating of F or G after April 1st 2018. As such landlords with properties in this EPC bracket should begin preparing now for April 1st. However, there are several nuances and exceptions, which this guide covers in detail.
