EPC guide

How long is an EPC valid for landlords?

An EPC date is another key readiness item before marketing or letting a property. LettingReady prompts landlords to record the EPC expiry date and flag whether it looks current.

What to check

  • Search for the property energy certificate if you do not have the document to hand.
  • Check the expiry date and rating.
  • Check minimum energy efficiency guidance and any relevant exemption position.

Where LettingReady helps

  • The full property check keeps EPC prompts next to EICR, gas safety and HMO questions.
  • This helps a landlord see the property as a whole instead of checking one certificate at a time.
