EPCs - Oct 1st commencement date approaches

EPCs is a recurring theme in these news items. August is normally a quiet month, but the Government is pumping out information in the run up to the next big EPC/DEC commencement date on October 1st. See, for example, Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and renting homes: A tenant's guide (because, of course, as the Guide says, from 1st October, "the landlord (or someone acting on their behalf, such as an estate agent) must give you an EPC free of charge for the home you are interested in renting as early as possible.”
