What happens to Energy Performance Certificates once they're complete?
All domestic Energy Performance Certificates are lodged in a central database. Energy Assessors (through their Accreditation Schemes) lodge them as they produce them, and each is given a unique reference number. Access to the database is restricted, so only those who have the unique reference number can access the certificate for a particular property.
Pleas note from October 2008 it will be mandatory for an energy assessor to conduct a survey of the rented property for the production of an EPC. This must be carried out whenever there is a change of tenancy, so that the new occupiers can obtain energy assessment details before applying for the tenancy. The landlord/owner of the property would bear the cost of the EPC. Estimates suggest that there are approx. 2.5 million homes in the rental sector which would be affected by this legislation.
