What should you do today if the EPC has expired?
Book an accredited energy assessor, pause marketing if the listing needs a valid EPC, and keep confirmation of the booking. When the new EPC arrives, check the rating against minimum energy efficiency rules that apply to your rental.
How do you avoid another expired EPC?
Domestic EPCs usually last 10 years — long enough to forget. Store the expiry date with the property and set reminders well before you plan to re-let. Certs Reminder emails you 30, 7 and 1 day before expiry.
