All rental properties in England and Scotland legally require:
- An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
- An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)
- A Gas Safety Record
Rental properties in Wales do not require an Electrical Installation Condition Report but do require a Gas Safety Record and Energy Performance Certificate.
Tenants must be shown valid copies of these certificates before the tenancy begins and they move in. Tenant’s can view the property’s EPC directly from the advert listing. Landlords can upload their Gas Safety Record, EICR and other property documents to Documents section of the dashboard. Tenants can then view these documents at any time from their own dashboard.
