Our Premium Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

From 1 October 2008, if you're letting a property the law requires you to provide an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to prospective tenants.

An EPC is a legal requirement for any new tenancies that begin on or after 1 October, detailing the energy performance of a property.

It is carried out by an accredited Domestic Energy Assessor to ensure it meets all legal requirements and is valid for 10 years.

Gibbs Gillespie can organise a complete EPC, including a professional floorplan and photography, on your behalf for only £99.00 plus Vat.

Frequently Asked Questions about EPCs

What is an EPC?   
An EPC assesses the energy performance of a property, from 'A' representing the most energy efficient property to 'G' representing the least energy efficient property and will also show a building's environment impact by indicating its carbon dioxide emissions.

When does a Landlord Need One?  
Before viewings for a lettings property can be arranged an EPC must be completed or ordered (proof of order may be required).

How long is an EPC valid for? 
A valid EPC will last for 10 years and can be used for multiple tenancies within that period.
