EPC (Energy Performance Certificates) are required for the properties being sold or offered for rent as a result of a directive initiated by the EU to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. The directive has become law and the systems have to be in place to ensure that EPCs are completed for all residential and commercial buildings at the point of sale or rent. The Government in the United Kingdom has made the EPC a part of the Home Information Pack (HIP) in the sales process for residential property. For the rental property, it has become mandatory to have an EPC for the property being marketed for rent from 1st October 2008. Sellers and landlords have to provide an EPC to the purchasers and tenants.
