From 1st October 2008, if you are renting out property you will need to provide a Energy Performance Certificate (EPC ) to any prospective tenant.  However, there is no need to obtain a certificate for existing tenants.  The certificate is valid for 10 years but can be renewed earlier if the landlord wishes to reflect any improvements made.  If a valid certificate exists when changing tenants no new certificate is required.

1st Call DEA can carry out a full energy assessment of your property for the purpose of producing a Energy Performance Certificate, this is required due to EU legislation.  Assessments are carried out by a fully qualified, accredited assessor and fully covered with PI & PL insurance.

It is recommended that landlords have Energy Performance Certificates produced for their rental properties sooner rather than later as it is likely there will be a rush to conform with legislation prior to the October 2008 deadline.

If you would like to arrange an energy assessment at a time that is convenient to you please mail or call.  7 days a week service, quick response.

1st Call DEA also provides Home Information Packs HIPs and Energy Performance Certificates for inclusion in the HIP.
