Do I need an EPC?

There has been considerable confusion about who needs an EPC and when it should be prepared!

WHO NEEDS AN EPC?

The guidance below should help you decide whether or not an EPC is required.

WHEN DO YOU NEED AN EPC?

For all sales and rentals the documents must be available to the prospective buyer or tenant at the earliest opportunity and, in any event, before a contract is entered into. If written information is sent to the prospective buyer or a viewing takes place the documents must be available at that time. It is only if no viewing has taken place or no written information has been given to the prospective buyer that the contract option comes into play.
