EPCs for Rented Properties

SoEfficient is was set up with the aim of catering for landlords needs regarding Energy Performance Certificates. Our staff has a lot of experience in dealing with landlords and rented properties, and we understand the differences between providing a service for landlords and providing a similar service for a standard homeowner. We are also willing to provide a discount for orders of multiple EPCs.

Since October 2008, all landlords in the UK have a legal responsibility to provide prospective tenants with a valid EPC for their property. Once issued an EPC remains valid for 10 years, assuming no changes are made to the property that affect the energy efficiency. Such changes may include any alteration to the heating systems in the house, an extension being built or any refurbishment that changes the internal layout of the house. The only exceptions to this are the suggested improvements included in the EPC. If these are carried out then there is no need to commission a new EPC; so long as the evidence of these improvements is presented with the EPC the improved rating can be claimed.
