If you are selling, renting, or managing a property in Islington, an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement. An EPC measures the energy efficiency of a property and provides a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The assessment includes factors such as insulation, heating systems, glazing, and overall energy performance. A valid EPC remains in place for 10 years and helps homeowners, landlords, and buyers understand potential energy costs and recommended improvements. Properties marketed for sale or rent in the UK generally require a current EPC before they can be advertised.
