Fake Energy Performance Certificates - how to spot them
Trading Standards have been alerted to fake EPCs or Energy Performance Certificates being presented by a small number of estate or letting agents.
If you are buying or renting a new home, we suggest that you look at your EPC closely.
You will need to locate the 20-digit reference number, including the hyphens, which can be found at the top right of the first page.
Enter this into the EPC Register here: https://www.epcregister.com/searchReport.html
If the number cannot be identified, or if your search brings up a different property address, we recommend you contact your local Trading Standards office.
