Listed Buildings

DCLG has recently released updated guidance for the marketed sale and rent of domestic and nondomestic
properties. These documents include “improve guidance on the EPC exemption for historic
buildings”. The Quidos Technical Support team read these documents for an hour and have yet to
note any improvement to the guidance provided.

The decision, ultimately, for whether a listed property shall have an EPC should be made by the
property owner. If an Energy Assessor is contracted to complete an EPC, it should be done, but as
to whether it is required is a decision to be made by the property owner/agent.
Confused? Yes, so are we!!
