Frequently Asked Questions

Is an EPC a Legal Requirement?

Yes.

A valid EPC is required by law if you are marketing a property for sale or rent, granting a new tenancy, or renewing or changing tenancy terms.

For rental properties, the EPC rating must meet the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) - currently a minimum rating of E or above (unless a valid exemption has been registered on the national PRS Exemptions Register). Failure to comply can result in financial penalties of between £2,000 and £4,000 for landlords, plus restrictions on letting.

How Does an EPC Survey Work?

Booking an EPC with Ebor Property Co is straightforward.

Here's what to expect:

Book online or by phone - choose a date and time that suits you
We attend your property - our accredited assessor visits and inspects insulation, heating systems, windows, lighting and room dimensions
Certificate issued - your EPC is lodged on the official government register and emailed to you, typically within 24–48 hours.

The survey itself takes around 30–60 minutes for a standard property. You or a representative will need to provide access to all rooms, the boiler, and meter cupboards.

Frequently Asked Questions

"Do I need an EPC to rent out my property in York?"

Yes. A valid EPC with a minimum rating of E is a legal requirement before you can let a residential property in England. If your property is rated F or G, you must carry out improvement works or register a valid exemption before marketing it to let.

What Happens If My Property Doesn't Meet The Minimum EPC Rating?

Rental properties must achieve at least an E rating under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES).

If your property is rated F or G, you'll need to carry out recommended improvement works - up to a cost cap of £3,500 - before you can legally let it. If it still can't meet the standard after that spend, you may be eligible to register an exemption.

EPC C by 2030: What It Means for Your Rental Property

If you own a rental property in England, you've probably heard that the government wants all private rented homes to reach EPC Band C by 2030. You may have filed that information away under "something to deal with later." That's understandable — 2030 still sounds a long way off. But with the government having confirmed the details earlier this year, and with a significant chunk of the country's rental housing stock needing work to get there, it's worth getting to grips with w

Awaab's Law Is Coming to the Private Rented Sector — What Landlords and Agents Need to Know

In December 2020, two-year-old Awaab Ishak died as a result of prolonged exposure to mould at his family's home in Rochdale. Their housing association landlord had been told about the problem repeatedly. Nothing was done. The coroner's findings were devastating — and the government's response was to change the law. The result is Awaab's Law : legally binding timeframes requiring landlords to investigate and fix damp, mould, and other serious housing hazards within set deadlin
