Energy Performance Certificates - LetSafe LetSafe introduce our fixed fee per property energy performance certificate service for the UK Landlord and UK Letting Agent market.
From 1 October 2008, when a UK landlord markets a buy to let property for rent in England or Wales to a tenant in the UK buy to let market, the UK Landlord is responsible for making sur e they have a valid energy performance certificate for the property being let. This energy performance certificate once the UK Landlord has it is then made available to all prospective tenants. The EU requires *UK Landlords to obtain Energy Performance Certificates on all their buy to let property. Energy Performance Certificates will need to be provided for all buildings when they are constructed, sold or rented. If you are renting out your property, you as the UK Landlord will need to provide an energy performance certificate to any prospective tenant from the 1st October 2008. This also means that any UK Letting Agent will also need to ensure that an energy performance certificate is current and valid for any properties their landlords have on the letting agents books. Don't worry, as a UK landlord you do not need to get an Energy Performance Certificate every time your UK Letting Agent sources a new tenant for your buy to let property, or for an existing tenancy. If an energy performance certificate is valid and still exists when changing tenants a new energy performance certificate is not required. This applies to both private and social sector UK landlords and tenants. Once you have arranged your EPC, and received your energy performance certificate for your buy to let property it remains valid for up to 10 years.
