What is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?

It's an assessment of your property's energy efficiency to give an EPC rating (between A and G -
the least energy efficient). Older houses are normally rated lower than modern ones with higher energy efficiency specifications. The average rating in the UK is "D".

The features which we note are age, construction, insulation features, glazing and lighting as well as heating arrangements.

​

When do I need an EPC?
  

If SELLING - you need an updated EPC (within the last 10 years) before you market your property for sale. 

​

LETTING - in addition to the above (or when the tenancy ceases),  your rental property must have a minimum E rating under MEES obligations (MEES) although some exemptions may apply.  

​

What's the cost?

We charge £95 (inc VAT) for a 2 bed property and an additional £10 for each further bedroom.
