If you are selling, renting, or managing a property in Lewisham, an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement. An EPC assesses the energy efficiency of a property and provides a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), along with recommendations that may help reduce energy costs and improve overall performance. Most EPC certificates remain valid for 10 years and are required before a property can be marketed for sale or let. Accredited assessors can usually complete the survey quickly, with certificates often issued within 24 to 48 hours.
