An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates how energy efficient your building is using grades from most to least efficient or A to G respectively.
You must have an EPC if:
- You rent out or sell the premises.
- A building under construction is finished.
There are changes to the number of parts used for separate occupation and these changes involve - providing or extending fixed heating, air conditioning or mechanical ventilation systems.
The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 (No.991), is commonly known as ‘EPBD’.
Trading Standards is responsible for ensuring that valid EPCs are provided. They may serve penalty notices for failure to comply. The penalty for failing to make an EPC available to any prospective buyer or tenant when selling or letting a property is fixed, in most cases, at 12.5 per cent of the rateable value. The penalties are a minimum of £500 and maximum of £5000.
