An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates the energy efficiency of a property on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It's a legal requirement for any property being sold or rented out in the UK. An EPC is valid for 10 years from the date of issue.
Yes, if you're selling or renting out a property. Your solicitor cannot legally complete a sale without a valid EPC on the official register. For rental properties, a valid EPC must be provided to tenants before they move in. EPCs are valid for 10 years, so check whether your existing one is still current before ordering a new one.
Residential EPCs start from £65 for a 3-bed property, £75 for a 4-bed, plus £5 for each additional room. No hidden booking fees. Commercial EPCs are priced individually. Call 07718 285708 for a quote.
Around 45 minutes for a standard domestic property, though larger or more complex homes may take up to 2 hours. The price is fixed regardless of how long the assessment takes. This includes checking insulation, windows, heating systems, hot water, lighting and ventilation.
Usually within 24 hours of payment being received. The certificate is lodged on the official government EPC register and emailed directly to you.
The assessor checks your property's insulation (loft, walls, floors), windows, heating system, hot water, lighting and ventilation. It's a thorough inspection, not a tick-box exercise. We'll take measurements and note down construction details to produce an accurate rating.
Someone needs to be there to let the assessor in and provide access to all areas. For landlords, we can arrange key collection from your letting agent or estate agent if needed.
Matt will explain what improvements could realistically boost your rating. For rental properties, a minimum E rating is required by law. If your property has an F or G rating, you can't legally rent it out unless you have a registered exemption.
E rating minimum. Properties rated F or G cannot be legally rented out unless the landlord has registered an exemption. If your property is below E, Matt can advise on cost-effective improvements to bring the rating up.
Yes. Common improvements include fitting low-energy LED bulbs, adding loft insulation, cavity wall insulation and upgrading to a more efficient boiler. Matt gives practical, honest advice on what would actually make a difference for your property, not just generic recommendations.
An invoice is sent after the assessment. Payment is by bank transfer. Your certificate is lodged on the official government register and emailed to you once payment has been received.
