Failing to comply with Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) regulations in the UK can result in significant legal and financial consequences. EPCs are mandatory for residential and commercial properties when being sold, rented, or newly built. Not having a valid EPC or failing to provide one when required may lead to the following penalties:
Fixed Penalty Fines
Domestic Properties: A fine of up to £200 per breach.
Commercial Properties: Fines can range from £500 to £5,000, depending on the property’s rateable value.
Enforcement Notices
Local authorities can serve compliance notices and demand evidence of EPC provision.
Repeated or willful breaches can lead to further investigations and escalating penalties.
Inability to Sell or Let
Without a valid EPC, you may be legally barred from marketing your property, delaying transactions and potentially affecting your income.
Exemptions Don’t Always Apply
Some buildings, such as listed properties or places of worship, may qualify for exemptions—but these must be registered officially. Visit our guide on EPC Exemptions for full details.
