There is always documentation you need being an investor and an EPC is definitely on that list. AN ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATE IS NEEDED WHENEVER A BUILDING IS BUILT, SOLD OR RENTED, commercial or residential.
PLEASE SEE THE UPDATE FOR TENANCIES WHICH STARTED AFTER THE 1ST OCTOBER 2015 It is standard to collect a deposit at the start of a tenancy, it protects you the Landlord from any damages caused as a result of the tenant breaching their lease.
When buying to let, the person you should definitely look for prior to anybody else if a mortgage broker. After all you can’t do anything if you don’t have the funds…
