Stay Legal and Market Your Property
No EPC? You can't legally market or let your property. Simple as that.
EPCs have been mandatory for rentals since 2008, and since 2018 properties must achieve at least an E rating to let legally.
💡 Pro tip: Get your EPC sorted early. If it comes back F or G rated, you'll need to make improvements before you can let - better to know that before you've got tenants booked in.
The Legal Requirement
| ✅ Compliant | ❌ Non-Compliant |
|---|---|
| Valid EPC before marketing property | Advertising without certificate |
| Minimum E rating to let | F or G rated property let anyway |
| Certificate shown to prospective tenants | No energy information provided |
| Valid for 10 years | Expired certificate |
The difference? Legal operation versus fines up to £5000.

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to arrange your own EPC? Here's what to know:
🔧 Finding an accredited assessor
- Must be registered on official EPC register
- Search at epcregister.com to find local assessors
- Get fixed quote upfront (not per-room pricing)
- Check reviews from other landlords
📋 Before the assessment
- Ensure access to all rooms including loft
- Have boiler service records handy (shows boiler efficiency)
- Note any improvements you've made (insulation, double glazing)
- Property can be occupied - doesn't need emptying
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Using unaccredited assessor (invalid certificate)
- Not checking rating before marketing (might be too low to let)
- Forgetting to mention improvements (could boost rating)
- Not planning for remedial work if rating is low
💡 Pro trick: Simple improvements can boost your EPC rating cheaply - switching all bulbs to LED, adding loft insulation, fitting radiator panels behind radiators. Assessor will recommend what's most cost-effective for your property.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Full compliance package? I can coordinate EPC, EICR, gas safety certificate, and other rental requirements together. One conversation sorts everything - much easier than dealing with multiple contractors yourself.
What if it fails to meet E rating? You'll need to make improvements before you can legally let. Common upgrades are insulation (loft, cavity walls), more efficient boiler, or double glazing. I can quote for the work.
Recent purchase? Check if the property already has a valid EPC from the sale - you might be able to use that rather than paying for a new one.
Multiple properties? I can schedule EPCs across your whole portfolio with the same assessor. Keeps your compliance admin simple and often gets better pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an EPC and do I need one for my rental?
EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rates your property's energy efficiency from A (best) to G (worst). It's been a legal requirement for rental properties since 2008 - you can't market or let without one. Plus since 2018, properties must be at least E-rated to let legally.
How much does an EPC cost?
Typically £60-120 depending on property size. Small flat might be £60-80, average house £80-100, larger properties more. I'll get you quotes from accredited assessors and coordinate the whole thing.
How long does an EPC assessment take?
Usually 30-60 minutes. The assessor measures rooms, checks insulation, heating system, windows, lighting. They don't test anything - just record what's there. Property can be occupied or empty.
What if my property gets a low rating?
If it's rated F or G, you can't legally let it - you'll need to make improvements first. Common upgrades are loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, or a more efficient boiler. I can advise on cost-effective improvements and arrange the work if needed.
How long is an EPC valid for?
10 years. So once you've got one, you're sorted for a decade unless you make major energy efficiency changes to the property (then you might want a new one to show the improvements).
