An Energy Performance Certificate shows the official energy rating of a property. Home owners will only need one when they sell their property.

From October 2008 Landlords will have to provide their tenant with a certificate and this remains valid for a 10 year period.

The certificate provides a rating for the property, showing its energy efficiency and its environmental impact on a scale from A-G (where A is the most efficient and G the least efficient). It also contains recommended ways to improve the property’s energy performance.

By 2009, all buildings in the UK that are constructed, sold or rented out will need to have an Energy Performance Certificate.
