Energy Performance Certificates for private rented accommodation

Energy Performance Certificates give a property an energy-efficiency rating from A to G. A rating of ‘A’ indicates the property is very efficient.

Certificates contain:

  • information about the property’s energy use and typical energy costs
  • recommendations about how to reduce energy use and save money

Private landlords must provide tenants with a certificate for their property. They must do so free of charge and at the earliest opportunity, before granting or renewing a tenancy.

Landlords must ensure their property has a rating of at least E before they can grant or renew a tenancy.

Certificates are valid for 10 years and can be reused within that period.
