From 6th April 2012 changes to the legislation on energy performance certificates (EPCs) will be introduced.
Below are the key points in the new legislation:

An EPC must be commissioned before marketing a property for rent or sale

Unless you already have an EPC available you must commission an EPC from an EPC provider before you first put the property on the market for rent or sale

An EPC should be made available within seven days of a property first coming on to the market.

You must make reasonable efforts to make sure that an EPC for the property is available within this seven day period. If, despite using all reasonable efforts you cannot secure that an EPC is available at the end of this seven day period you must make sure that the EPC is obtained before the end of a further period of 21 days. Thus, there is an absolute duty to make sure that it is available within 28 days of the property first being marketed.

An EPC must be available to any prospective tenant as early as possible.

In particular it must be made available when a prospective tenant requests information or asks to view the property. A copy must be handed over to the tenant before signing the tenancy agreement. These rules have always been in place but many of mistakenly thought different. The rules have therefore been amended to make it clear what must be done.

Evidence of commissioning an EPC must be available on request to Trading Standards Officers (TSOs)
TSOs have the power to investigate, require the production of EPCs and serve penalty notices. The penalty is £200 for residential
