EPCs and Compliance: What You Need to Sell Smart (and Legal)

Before you can list, market, or sell your home, you need to make sure it’s compliant with UK property regulations — especially your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).

At Citizenz Properties LTD, we help sellers stay one step ahead by managing all the paperwork and compliance requirements that could slow down or derail a sale.

Here’s what you need to know.

⚡ What Is an EPC, and Why Does It Matter?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) gives your home an energy efficiency rating from A (very efficient) to G (inefficient).

✅ Legally required before you list your property
✅ Lasts 10 years
✅ Helps buyers understand future energy bills

💡 A better EPC rating often leads to more interest and stronger offers.

🧠 What Happens If You Don’t Have One?
❌ Your property can’t be marketed legally
❌ You may face a £200+ fine
❌ Your sale could fall through during conveyancing

✅ At Citizenz, we arrange EPCs for our sellers to avoid delays and penalties.

📑 Other Key Compliance Items to Prepare
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks

Property Information Forms (TA6)

Accurate floor plans and legal disclosures

Planning permissions and building regulation certificates

Missing any of these can cause buyer uncertainty or legal issues.

🛠️ Can You Improve Your EPC Before Selling?
Yes — and it may be worth it.

✅ Easy upgrades include:

LED lighting

Wall or loft insulation

Smart thermostats

Replacing old boilers

💡 A one-point EPC improvement can help sell faster — and even boost sale value.
