 Have your landlords got Energy Performance Certificates organised for October 2008? As you are most probably aware, as of October 2008, it will be compulsory through government legislation that all rented properties will need to have an Energy Performance Certificate which last for 10 years. However a renewal of the EPC is not required for the property when any new tenants move in there after until the 10 year validation period is over. If an EPC is not in place, the landlord can be fined and will be breaking the law. More importantly, landlords effectively cannot market their properties, and will hence receive no rent.

- Do you have a back up plan?
|
So, you’re either an EPC provider yourselves or already have a designated Provider? Sounds great but will you always be able to meet the demand? With demand set to increase, due to the expected introduction of EPCs and/or HIPs for new build properties from April 2008, residential lettings from October 2008, and commercial properties also being phased from October 2008, will your designated EPC provider be able to meet the needs of your valuable clients, the landlords? This is where we can help. Lamb Home Inspectors Ltd can act as a back up EPC provider, allowing you to continue to do business with peace of mind so as demand can be met, quickly and to the highest of standards and lowest prices. |
How long does an EPC last for a property within the rental sector?
The Energy Performance Certificate, at present, will last for a period of 10 years or until the property is let to a new tenant. Fines will be in place for non-compliance.
