Overview
This guide answers the most common questions from hosts about the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for properties in Scotland.
Why do I need to upload an EPC when I didn't before?
The Scottish Government guidelines have recently changed. While it has been mandatory for some time to display your EPC within your property, new legislation now requires that it is also shown on any online advertisements for your property.
What if I don't have an EPC?
You should already have an EPC displayed in your property. If you don’t, you can check the Scottish EPC Register to see if one exists or to apply for a new certificate: https://www.scottishepcregister.org.uk/
Where can I get an EPC?
You can find an accredited EPC assessor through the Scottish EPC Register: https://www.scottishepcregister.org.uk/
You can also visit the Scottish Government website for further guidance: https://www.gov.scot/publications/energy-performance-certificates-introduction/.
How long do I have to get one?
If your property does not have a valid EPC (issued within the last 10 years), you should arrange for one as soon as possible.
