How long is an EPC valid for landlords?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is usually valid for 10 years. Check that the property has a valid EPC before it is marketed or let, and check whether minimum energy-efficiency rules or exemptions apply.

• 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.

• 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.
