Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Advice for Landlords will be given to rented buildings, detailing their efficiency on a scale from A to G. The required examination will check on boiler performance, insulation, double-glazing etc.
There is speculation that a prospective tenant may try to force down the rent of a property if it received a bad energy-efficiency rating.
Landlords who refuse to comply with the new energy legislation can incur a £200 repeatable fine for each unassessed property.
The chairman of the National Landlords Association advises landlords to get their EPCs sorted out as quickly as possible to comply with the Energy Legislation & to make sure that they are ahead of the game when it comes to re-letting a property. He said that every landlord hates void periods and needs to be in the position to react quickly when an existing tenancy ends

Thank you for your personalised and informative course. The fact I was able to take my exam during the course and to produce my portfolio online has really taken the stress out of training. Having previously trained in a large group it was refreshing and enjoyable to be part of a smaller class. The Hotel Conference was top class and I will be booking my Air Conditioning Training with you very soon. Thanks again.
