Prop Docs
EPCs for landlords
Landlords should check each property’s current certificate and seek current official guidance on energy-efficiency duties before letting.
Check every property
Search each address and record its current rating and expiry date. Requirements and exemptions depend on the property and circumstances.
Use current official guidance
Rules can change. Check GOV.UK guidance rather than relying on a proposed legal timeline or an old certificate.
Plan new assessments
Where a property needs a current EPC, provide its details to arrange an assessment. Portfolio landlords can group property information for review.
Common EPC questions
How long is an EPC valid?
An EPC is normally valid for 10 years. Check the expiry date on the individual register record.
Do I need an EPC to sell or rent a property?
An EPC is generally required when a property is built, sold or rented, although exemptions can apply. Check current GOV.UK guidance for your circumstances.
How do I get my EPC report?
Search for your property, then select Get report — £19.50. If the certificate is expired or missing, select Book new EPC.
When should I book a new EPC?
Consider booking an assessment when no certificate can be found, the existing EPC has expired, or a current certificate is required for a sale or letting.
