IMPORTANT CHANGES TO EPCs IN ENGLAND AND WALES
Changes to the legislation on Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) mean from 1st July 2011 an EPC must be available (within 7 days of marketing) or have been ordered on all properties that are being marketed for rent.
In addition, the full EPC will need to be attached to all written particulars from October 2011.
Current requirements mean an EPC needs to be available 28 days after marketing of the property has begun and only the graphs need to be attached to the property particulars.
