As of 6th April 2012 an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) must be commissioned before marketing your property for sale or rent, whether it is residential or commercial.

All "reasonable efforts" must be made to ensure that an EPC is obtained within 7 days of marketing the property. (Where it has not been secured during that period, there is an absolute duty to obtain it within 21 days of the end of that period.)

An EPC assesses the energy performance of a property, grading it from 'A' to 'G' with A being the most energy efficient and G being the least. The EPC must be undertaken by a qualified Domestic Energy Assessor

NLA EPCs offers nationwide EPC coverage with Domestic Energy Assessors you can trust.
