Get your EPC ready A vital part of the property selling process – and the only thing that you must sort before moving - is sorting your EPC. An EPC rating is a review of a property's energy efficiency, and it is represented on a scale from A, which is the most efficient, to E which is the least efficient. All homes have this as it is a standard requirement for when a property is built. Once issued, the EPC will be valid for 10 years and if your EPC is older than this, you'll need to get a new one issued before you can sell your home. It is also the seller or landlord's responsibility to organise an EPC. If you fail to provide an EPC to your prospective buyer when selling your home, you can be fined 12.5% of the rateable value of the building - up to £5,000.
