Landlords
From October 1st 2008, new occupiers can obtain energy assessment details before applying for the tenancy, therefore landlords will (by law) need an Energy Performance Certificat (EPC) before there is a change of tenant.
We are currently taking bookings from landlords and letting agents alike to produce EPCs during the next few months. This to avoid the rush come August and September and as EPC's for rented property currently have a shelf life of 10 years. Fines for non-compliance charged at £200 per offence. See Landlord's Legal Obligations
* July Special for properties in Coventry, Nuneaton & Bedworth, Rugby & Daventry
