Wondering whether it is now obligatory for the Energy Performance Certificate score to be displayed in the property rental ads?

We have understood that the initial online listing does not have to contain any information from the EPC. Paragon Mortgages knows when the EPC is required:

- when any written information about the building is provided in response to a request for information received from the prospective tenant, or
- when a viewing is conducted, or
- before entering into contract

Mandatory or not, some agents have put the score graph in the ad already:

Like John D Wood. We found this ad from PrimeLocation.com, where you can search by keywords like “EPC” or “Energy Performance Certificate”. Also, one Parkinson Farr ad included an EPC, Cluttons‘ and John Hollingworth’s ads noted “EPC available on request”.
