To help improve the energy efficiency of buildings and to reflect legislation, the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) was first introduced for the marketed sale of homes as part of Home Information Packs.
From 1st October 2008 the legislation was widened to state that in the event of completion of construction, sale or letting of all buildings (with some small exceptions), an EPC will need to be provided. This includes all commercial properties and homes, including those being let on assured shorthold tenancies.
All sellers and landlords will be legally required to show prospective buyers or tenants an EPC prior to selling or letting their property. Those who do not produce an EPC when required could be fined £200 but must obtain an EPC or risk further fines or penalty charge. In most cases this will be fixed at 12.5% of the rateable value of the building capped at a maximum of £5,000.

Energy Performance Certificates
Energy Performance of Buildings
(Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007.
From 1 July 2008 the Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 will mean that any buildings that are sold, rented or built may need an Energy Performance Certificate to reflect the energy performance of the building.
If a building has a total floor area in excess of 2,500m then you will, subject to limited exceptions, be required to hold and make available an Energy Performance Certificate at the request of a prospective tenant or client if “energy is used to condition the indoor climate” for example by air conditioning or heating.
If you think these changes may affect you or one of your clients and require any further details or if you have any questions about how to comply with these changes please contact Robert Pyke or Bruce Faulkner for more information.
