Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he plans to introduce a specific Energy Performance Certificate for rural areas; and if he will make a statement.
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is required for new buildings or when buildings are sold or rented, unless a valid exemption applies. We have no plans to make any changes for EPCs required for buildings in rural areas.
