If the tenant wants to purchase the dwelling they rent, the same EPC can be used. This is because it is a non-marketed sale not affected by the HIPs Regulations. An EPC is required but this can be up to 10 years old. However, if the dwelling is also being placed on the open market, the EPC must be no more than 12 months old because it is affected by the HIPs Regulations.
