EPCs for Letting Agents

CEPCplus: Sunderland’s Independent EPC Specialist for Letting Agents 

An EPC stands for Energy Performance Certificate and is essential for any landlord or letting agent intending to rent a property privately. As of April 2018, a landlord that is privately renting must obtain at least a rating of ‘E’, otherwise they will not be permitted to rent or continue renting the affected property. Luckily, CEPCplus are specialists in assessing properties and advising on how best to improve your energy efficiency……….and, we survey your property from only £45.

The Basics of EPCs for Landlords in Sunderland

Your Energy Performance Certificate assesses how energy efficient the property is. It is measured on a sliding scale from  ‘A’, which is highly efficient, to ‘G’ which is very poor. Private landlords must now secure at least the grade of ‘E’ before they are permitted to rent their property. An EPC is valid for 10 years, but it’s highly recommended you apply for a new one whenever a major change to the property occurs such as an extension or conversion. As an independent EPC specialist in Sunderland, CEPCplus not only assess your property and provide you with your certificate but we also advise you on how you could better your rating if you fall below the required E rating cut-off.
