Who Is Responsible for Obtaining an EPC—Landlord, Tenant, or Seller?

In the UK, the responsibility for obtaining an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) lies with the property owner. This typically means:

  • Landlords must provide a valid EPC when letting out a residential or commercial property.

  • Sellers are responsible for securing an EPC before marketing a property for sale.

  • Tenants are not responsible for obtaining an EPC, but they should be given a copy by the landlord or seller before signing a lease or purchasing a property.

Failing to produce a valid EPC when required can result in financial penalties and legal issues. To stay compliant, it’s essential to work with a registered assessor and ensure your EPC is up to date and valid—generally lasting for 10 years.
