Domestic EPCs
EPCs are required whenever a property is:
• Built
• Sold
• Rented
You must order an EPC for potential buyers and tenants before you market property to sell or rent.
Buildings that may not need an EPC:
• Places of worship.
• Temporary buildings that will be used for less than 2 years.
• Stand-alone buildings with total useful floor space of less than 50 square metres.
• Industrial sites, workshops and non-residential agricultural buildings that don’t use a lot of energy.
• Some buildings that are due to be demolished.
• Holiday accommodation that’s rented out for less than 4 months a year or is let under a licence to occupy.
• Listed buildings – you should get advice from your local authority conservation officer if the work would alter the building’s character.
• Residential buildings intended to be used less than 4 months a year.
An EPC contains:
• Information about a property’s energy use and typical costs.
• Recommendations about how to reduce energy use and save money.
An EPC gives a property an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and is valid for 10 years.
