We have extracted this information of The CLG web site and simplified the content so people can understand the legal requirements on Rental Sector EPC'S.

A Rental EPC lasts for some 10 years,so costs are economical if you look at the spread over the 10 year EPC life cycle.

Thank you Elwyn for your EPC reports.In this instance we will not charge the clients more for 51-53, as they are two houses knocked into one dwelling,and we appreciate you drawing our attention to this matter.
