 Q - When do I need to obtain an Energy Performance Certificate?
An Energy Performance Certificate is required on the sale or letting of a property.

 Q - What does the New MEES Legislation mean for me?
The New Minimum Energy Efficieancy Standards require an EPC for a rental property to be an E or above.

 Q – I’m selling my house privately, do I require a HIP?
With effect from May 20th 2010 the Government announced that HIPs were to be suspended. As a result a HIP is no longer a requirement, however, an Energy Performance Certificate is still required if you are marketing your property, even if it’s just putting a ‘for sale’ sign in the window, you need an EPC.

If Selling - the EPC must be ordered prior to the commencment of the marketing process & there is a 28 day window from that date in which to have the EPC in place. 

If Letting - the obligation is to produce an EPC at the time the property is first offered for rent. The landlord must ensure a copy of the EPC including the recommendation report is made available free of charge to all prospective tenants at the earliest possible opportunity, and no later than the entering into of a rental contract.

Q- Does this requirement apply to all residential tenancy?
No ....... If a tenant was in occupation before 1st October 2008 and carries on occupying the property after that date, the landlord is not required to produce an EPC, even when that tenancy comes to an end and is re-newed.

If however at the end of that tenancy the tenant leaves and a new tenancy is created then an EPC will be required.
