If you are selling, renting, or managing a property in Croydon, obtaining a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement. An EPC measures the energy efficiency of a property on a scale from A to G and provides recommendations that could help improve energy performance and reduce running costs. Most EPC assessments are straightforward, with accredited assessors completing a non-invasive inspection and issuing the certificate shortly after the visit. EPCs remain valid for 10 years and are required before a property can be marketed for sale or let to tenants.
