Are these needed if you are going to sell a property?

Yes, sold my dads house about 3 years ago and had to provide both.

YES ,unless auction i think

You don't need to provide either to sell your house. Residential properties don't need a gas safety certificate unless they are being rented out. 

 

Other sellers may have been asked to provide them, but they are not required legally. An EPC is legally required, even if you are selling the property privately, however it is my experience that solicitors do not check that an EPC is in place before exchanging contracts, so it is unlikely that you would be caught out if you are not selling via an estate agents. Estate Agents will not market the property unless there is an EPC in place. They will do so without gas and electrical safety certificates.
