Homeowners face 5,000 penalty for failing to provide EPC rating

By 2030, UK homeowners must provide a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) when selling or renting properties, with penalties reaching up to £5,000 for non-compliance. Homeowners are required to present their EPC to local authorities upon request, with further fines imposed for delays. The type of EPC depends on the home’s characteristics, especially heating systems. Homeowners with older properties must ensure their homes have a proper EPC to avoid significant fines, which may require assistance from a qualified energy assessor to comply with upcoming regulations.
