Written Question

Energy Performance Certificates

Monday 11th April 2016

Asked by: Wayne David (Labour - Caerphilly)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that every property has an Energy Performance Certificate by 2020.

Answered by Lord Wharton of Yarm

An Energy Performance Certificate must be made available whenever a building is sold, rented out or constructed. There are currently no plans to introduce a requirement for every property to have an Energy Performance Certificate, since this would introduce an unnecessary additional burden on building owners and landlords.
