What is the fixed civil penalty for non-compliance with an EPC Certificate?

• A. £100 civil penalty
• B. £200 civil penalty
• C. £300 civil penalty
• D. No penalty

Answer: (B)

In the EPC enforcement framework, there is a fixed civil penalty intended to ensure compliance with the requirement to have and supply an Energy Performance Certificate. The amount is £200, a set figure that applies if the responsible person fails to obtain, display, or provide the certificate as required. This makes it the best answer because the penalty is fixed at £200, rather than varying or being absent. The other options don’t fit: £100 or £300 are not the standard fixed amount, and there is indeed a penalty for non-compliance.
