New legal requirements for landlords

From 1 October 2008 it will be a legal requirement for all landlords to have a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for their property before it can be let.

An EPC assesses the energy performance of a property and will need to be carried out by a qualified Domestic Energy Assessor to ensure that it meets all legal requirements. Once complete it will be valid for a period of 10 years.

It will be a legal offence for landlords to let a property without an EPC from 1 October 2008.

Foxtons are able to arrange for an EPC to be carried out on your behalf in order to avoid any delays letting your property.

You do not have to be registered with Foxtons or planning to let your property through us to benefit from this arrangement.

For more information on how we can arrange your EPC immediately, call 0800 369 8667.
