If you are selling, letting, or managing a property in Lambeth, 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 certificate helps buyers, tenants, and landlords understand likely energy costs and highlights recommendations that could improve efficiency. EPCs are valid for 10 years and must be completed by an accredited energy assessor before a property is marketed for sale or rent. In Lambeth, EPCs are commonly required for flats, Victorian terraces, maisonettes, and modern apartments throughout the borough.
