“From April 2018 Landlords in Doncaster cannot rent or advertise a property that is below an E rating. Landlords with homes below BAND E energy use rating, will have to carry out improvements to increase the rating by law. This is due to change to Band C in coming years”
An EPC contains:
- information about a property’s energy use and typical energy costs
- recommendations on reducing energy use to save money
- information on improving the property under the Green Deal
An EPC gives a property an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and is valid for 10 years.

- Fuel types
- Window types and more…
PENALTIES FOR NOT OBTAINING AN EPC
