Introduction
If you are selling, letting, or refinancing a property in Merton, obtaining a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement. An EPC assesses the energy efficiency of a property and provides a rating from A to G, together with recommendations that could improve efficiency and reduce energy costs. Most EPC assessments take less than an hour to complete, and certificates remain valid for ten years. Landlords must also ensure rental properties meet minimum energy efficiency standards before letting them to tenants.
