Sellers

 It's a legal requirement to have an energy performance certificate for your home before you sell it. This can be arranged through your estate agent or directly with an EPC provider.  

Buyers

 Make sure you receive an EPC from the seller. You can use its recommendations to inform any renovations you might want to carry out, or even to try and negotiate the property price. 

Landlords

 If you're a buy-to-let landlord, it is now a legal requirement that your property has an EPC rating of E or above before you can take on a new tenant or renew an existing contract. By 2020, this rule will apply to all properties with existing tenancies, too. 

Tenants

Ensure your landlord sends you an EPC before you move in, and use the cost breakdown to help plan your budget.
