Both Domestic and Commercial EPCs are valid for 10 years from the date of production. The documents we provide are compliant with regulations for both rental and sale of properties, and in the case of SAP and BRUKL surveys, with the requirements of building control. It is a mandatory requirement for all domestic and commercial properties in Oldbury and across the UK to have an EPC before they are marketed for sale or, in the case of rental property, before any prospective tenants are shown round.
