Commentary by Jujhar Property Services
Treat the EPC as part of due diligence, not an afterthought at marketing. Pull the existing certificate from the register before you offer: the recommendations report gives you a costed improvement list you can negotiate against. A property sitting at F or G cannot legally be let without a registered exemption, so the cost of the works belongs in your offer, not your first year of ownership.
- Not sure where your property sits? Book an EPC — most appointments are within 24–48 hours.
- Landlord with three or more properties? Open a trade account.
