Do I need an EPC before marketing my property?

Yes, you must have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) commissioned before you can market your property for sale.

An EPC provides information about a property’s energy efficiency and gives it a rating from A to G. By law, this must be available to potential buyers at the point the property is listed.

Key requirements include:

• An EPC must be ordered before marketing begins
• It must be made available to interested buyers
• It is valid for 10 years

Failing to provide an EPC can result in penalties and may delay your sale.

In a traditional sale, arranging an EPC is part of the upfront preparation before listing your property.

When selling directly, the process is often simpler. Sell House Fast buys your property and can guide you on any required documentation to ensure everything is handled correctly.

If you want to move forward without delays, you can request an no obligation cash offer to see what we’d offer for your property.
