What is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a mandatory document for anyone selling, renting, or building property in the UK. It provides an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and includes estimated costs and recommendations for improving energy performance.

• Legal requirement before marketing your property for sale or rent
• Informs buyers and tenants about expected energy costs
• Can improve property value and unlock green mortgages or grants
• Compliance with MEES: Minimum rating E required for rentals (C by 2030)

1. A qualified EPC assessor visits your property
2. They inspect insulation, windows, heating systems, and lighting
3. Data is entered into approved software to generate your EPC rating
4. You receive a certificate with current and potential ratings, plus tailored recommendations

Time: ~1 hour | Valid for 10 years | Cost: £35–£120

• Property address, type, and surveyor details
• Current & potential energy efficiency rating (A–G)
