When selling, renting, or constructing a property in the UK, it’s a legal requirement to obtain an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). But who exactly is responsible for securing it?
Property Owners & Landlords: Your Legal Duty
In most cases, the property owner or landlord is responsible for obtaining a valid EPC before putting a property on the market. This includes residential homes, commercial buildings, and newly constructed properties. Without a valid EPC, you could face fines or delays in transactions.

Agents Can Help — But Owners Are Liable
While estate agents or letting agents often coordinate EPC assessments, the legal burden still falls on the property owner or landlord. If you need quick assistance, our team offers Same-Day EPC Services across London to help you meet your deadlines.
New Builds & Developers
For new builds, the responsibility lies with the developer or builder. A newly constructed property must include a post-construction EPC before it can be sold or rented.
