EPC work, plus every landlord due to review their certificate
A certificate that has run out is an obvious reason to call an EPC assessor; a change in a property's rating or exemption can be another. Kept tracks the ten-year expiry dates landlords confirm and puts an accredited assessor in front of them as renewal approaches. The rating itself remains for the landlord to check.

A compliance date creates a useful moment.
A ten-year memory belongs to software
Nobody remembers a decade-old date. Kept does, and starts reminding at 60 days rather than the week the tenancy needs to be advertised.
The rating still needs a human check
A valid EPC can still need attention if its rating or exemption does not fit the current letting rules. Kept does not currently read or track the EPC band as structured data, so the landlord checks and confirms that part before arranging assessment or improvement work.
Recommendation reports lead somewhere
The landlord who has just been told their property is an E is the landlord who needs a plan. Assessors who also handle retrofit advice get a natural second conversation.
Every let needs one, before marketing
A new letting is a natural point to check the EPC. Kept keeps the certificate and confirmed expiry date with the property file so that review is easier to remember.
How the placement works.
- 1
A landlord opens a property file
They add an address and their existing certificates. Kept works out the key statutory duties that apply to that property and the date each one falls due - gas annually, EICR every five years, EPC every ten, and the rest.
- 2
The clock runs down
Reminders escalate from 60 days out: a nudge, then a firmer one, then a red one. This is the moment a landlord is actually looking for you - not idly browsing, but holding a deadline with a penalty attached to it.
- 3
Your offer appears against that duty
If the duty is yours and the postcode is yours, your listing appears alongside the reminder - in the app and in the email. Nobody sees an electrician when a gas record is what expires.

Straight answers.
Q1Do I need to be on an accreditation scheme?
Yes - Elmhurst, Stroma, Quidos, ECMK or equivalent. Put your assessor ID on the application and we will check it before approving you.
Q2Will I see landlords whose EPC has not expired?
You may see landlords approaching certificate renewal. Kept does not currently target listings by EPC band or create a separate low-rating obligation; any rating or exemption question remains for the landlord to check.
Q3Can I cover a whole county?
EPC work travels better than most trades, so assessors are usually a good fit for Area or County. Sixty districts on County covers most of a large county comfortably.
- We never send you a landlord's name, address, phone number or email.
- We never sell or rent a landlord's details to anybody, for any price.
- You receive counts and click-throughs. The landlord decides whether to contact you.
