EPC expiry, when does it need to be valid until?

I've realised today that our EPC expires in a couple of weeks time, is this going to need renewing?
When we originally listed last year it still had a years validity so we didn't worry. It was still valid when we re- listed, valid at the point of viewings and accepting an offer this week. Will it need to be renewed if this sale goes through? Or only if it falls through?
The usual Internet search doesn't seem to be giving me any useful answers!

Theoretically it should be OK provided the buyer has been given a copy of a valid EPC prior to purchase. However, buyer's solicitor may insist on update either for the buyer or for the mortgage Company and it is going to seem petty to hold up the sale for the want of a £50 EPC or thereabouts.

So what's the EPC rating now ?
Could you improve the EPC by installing LED light bulbs ?
Now available for about £1/2 each0 -
Thanks, we wouldn't object or hold anything up if it was required.anselld said:Theoretically it should be OK provided the buyer has been given a copy of a valid EPC prior to purchase.

No idea, we paid no attention to it when we bought the property and haven't thought about it since.dimbo61 said:So what's the EPC rating now ?

LED lightbulbs have been long since installed everywhere but I can't imagine our buyer cares about what the rating says either!0
