EPC Landlord News Landlords Questions Tenant Eviction

Hi, I’ve just had this in a letter from our letting agents…

“Renewing your EPC isn’t legally required at this point, however, there have been cases where courts have queried an out-of-date EPC during possession proceedings, with possession not being granted or delayed, due to the EPC being out of date.”

Has anyone any knowledge of this, please?

Or are the letting agents just trying to sell something unnecessarily?

Thank you,
