Is EPC Compulsory?

An accredited energy assessor will provide rapid epc reporting for anyone eager to sell their building. Such a report is made compulsory by the England and Wales government ever since 1st of October 2008. It is now, a legal requirement to have it when ever a landlord plans to give his property on sale or rent it out. There are conditions attached to this. If such a rental property is shared by different people that is if a tenant has rented it out to one or more person and this building is not self contained, then there is no need for epc certificate. Moreover, you will not need to provide an EPC to tenants that renew their contracts as it is not necessary to supply an EPC to an existing tenant. He may have been there before the rule was passed. It was made compulsory only after 1st October 2008.
