    • Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I do my own EPC?

    No. EPCs must be produced by an accredited Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA). Self-assessment is not permitted.

    Who pays for the EPC — the landlord or tenant?

    The property owner or landlord is responsible for obtaining and paying for the EPC. The cost cannot be passed on to tenants.
