what is an epc and why you need one

---

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) shows how energy efficient a property is. It gives your home or building a rating from A (very efficient) to G (inefficient), similar to the labels you see on fridges or washing machines.

The certificate also provides practical advice on how to improve your property’s energy efficiency, which can help you save money on bills and make your property more attractive to buyers or tenants.

 A valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is required by law whenever you sell or rent out a property. For landlords and estate agents, it’s essential to stay compliant and showcase your property effectively. Homeowners can also benefit, even if they’re not selling or renting, by learning how to cut energy costs and make their home more comfortable. And for buyers and tenants, an EPC provides peace of mind, giving a clear picture of a property’s energy use before making any commitments. 

 Under UK law, an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is valid for 10 years. However, when selling a property, you must have an EPC that meets current legal requirements before marketing, which may mean obtaining a new certificate. The same applies when letting a property to new tenants.
 

A fully qualified assessor visits your property at a time that suits you. We carefully check key details such as insulation, heating systems, and windows to ensure your EPC is accurate and compliant. 

You’ll receive your official EPC report within 24 hours, hassle-free, so you can move forward quickly and confidently.
