If you’re a landlord planning to rent out your property in the UK, understanding EPC requirements is essential for legal compliance and tenant attraction. As of April 2018, it is mandatory for rented residential properties in England and Wales to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of E or above. Properties that fall below this standard (rated F or G) cannot legally be rented unless exempted.
Why Is an EPC Rating Important for Landlords?
The EPC shows how energy-efficient a property is, helping tenants estimate potential utility costs. A poor EPC rating can make your property harder to rent and may require upgrades before tenancy.
