FROM 1 OCTOBER 2008 ALL TENANTED PROPERTIES
WILL REQUIRE AN EPC
IT MUST BE GIVEN TO THE TENANT
4
A FEW FACTS The first time an EPC must be
produced is when a new tenant moves in. The rules
will not apply to lease renewals by sitting
tenants. EPCs on rental properties may last for
up to 10 years. There is no requirement for a new
EPC to be issued if landlords upgrade their
property in line with EPC recommendations.
5
WHY DO I NEED AN EPC?

• Tenants will be pleased to learn that those
  landlords failing to supply an energy performance
  certificate (EPC) will face "considerable fines".
• That is the warning issued by the National
  Landlords Association (NLA) who has said that
  from October the total amount OWED from UK
  landlords could exceed 500 million.
• Renters will benefit from the certificates which
  require landlords to provide details of the
  energy efficiency of property and its
  environmental impact.
• Properties that comply will have lower fuel bills
  which are "more attractive to cash-strapped
  renters", the NLA said.
• Commenting on the imminent launch of EPCs, David
  Salusbury, Chairman, NLA, said "Many landlords
  across the country are already investing in
  energy saving measures in response to a growing
  market demand for environmentally-friendly
  properties."

SOME INCONVENIENT TRUTHS In the long term
landlords will benefit from a higher energy
performance rating and increased value when the
property is sold on. Once tenants get used to
EPCs, they will make the connection between a
high energy rating lower fuel bills.
