What are the rules?
Energy Performance Certificates might seem like a minor piece of property administration, but recent rule changes make your EPC a VITAL component of the lettings scene… with some very serious impacts.
Here’s how the new rules on EPC’s affect you:
- Unless a property ranks “E” or better the rules now prohibit you from letting your property AT ALL
- From a date yet to be confirmed, the minimum ranking rises to “D” or better
- Here’s how serious the Government are making compliance:
- Renting out a non-compliant property for less than three months: a £2000 fixed penalty and publication of the fact of non-compliance
- And if more than 3 months of non-compliance, the fixed penalty rises to £4000
Of course, there’s a simple solution: use Northwood’s new EPC service for ten years of total reassurance
