EPC

from the 1st October 2008 On completion of construction, lease or sale all UK Residential and Commercial properties require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).
Since implementation landlords and property owners in England and Wales have been required to provide Energy Performance certificates (EPC’s) to any prospective buyer or tenant when they lease, build or sell a residential or commercial property.
