EPC - Who Needs

 

Builders

 

An EPC needs to be provided to buyers of newly built properties.

 

Landlords

 

If you are a landlord, you’ll need to make an EPC available to prospective tenants the first time you let a home after 1 October 2008. An EPC is only required for a property which is self-contained, and is valid for 10 years.


An EPC isn’t required when a tenant rents a room and shares facilities.
