An EPC has been a legal requirement since 2007. For a tenancy or renewal granted on or after 1 October 2015, no section 21 can be served unless an EPC has been given beforehand.
Cost of utility bills to the tenant is not a consideration for an EPC as its all about how much CO is being used – therefore it’s needed even if bills are included where the property is self-contained.
You must give at least 24 hours notice but if you are refused entry, that would be a breach of tenancy. The problem is, to fix the breach you would need a court order. The easiest court order is the section 21 so it’s a bit of a catch 22!
Have a go at gaining entry and arranging the EPC and if you can’t gain entry, come back to us.
Thank you, will do.
Also the tenant has been in touch with the Council environmental health I have a quite complicated question regarding this Is there any possibility u could call me after 12.30?
If not I will try and spell it all out!!
