Hello, first time poster (be nice). Hope this topic hasn't been covered too many times before. My question is about the legalities and timeframes of EPC's. The manager of my housing association (who completed tenancy documents with me six months ago when I moved in) failed to provide me with an EPC at the beginning of my tenancy. The company finally provided one four months later, after I had persistently requested one and then it was due to expire within two weeks so its no longer technically valid as I understand it.
1) Is there any legal remedy for not providing an EPC at the outset of the tenancy, apart from a complaint?
2) Are they obligated to provide an up-to-date EPC given that new (but inadequate) heating was just recently installed at the beginning of October?
3) Is there an external company to regulate this, for example does the EPC register deal with complaints?
I know this sounds fussy, but I care about energy efficiency (and being warm) and its another thing in a long list of issues I've experienced with the company.
Best,
Just Peachy
