Whether you are selling or letting a property, you must have an EPC certificate. An EPC provides an indication of how much it will cost to heat and power a property. It also includes recommendations for energy-efficient improvements, the cost of carrying them out, and the potential savings in pounds and pence each could generate.EPCs became a legal requirement in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland in 2007 and Scotland in 2009.
