Energy Performance Assessment
Get your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
In the United Kingdom, the majority of residential and commercial properties must have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) when constructed, sold, or rented. The key objective of an EPC is to furnish details regarding a property’s energy efficiency and carbon emissions.
An EPC indicates a property’s heating costs, carbon emissions, and suggests energy-efficient upgrades. Ratings range from A to G, with A being the most efficient. Your certificate will provide a numerical score for potential savings, recommending improvements like better insulation or modern light bulbs, benefiting both renters and owners by potentially reducing energy bills.

In the United Kingdom, obtaining an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is essential for most residential and commercial properties, mandated during construction, sale, or rental. The fundamental objective of an EPC is to furnish crucial insights into a property’s energy efficiency and carbon emissions, empowering property owners and prospective occupants with valuable information.
A pivotal legal requirement came into effect on 1 April, 2018, stipulating that all landlords in the UK must possess a valid EPC. This regulatory shift emphasises the indispensable role EPCs play in shaping the landscape of property transactions, significantly impacting decisions related to both sales and rentals. Beyond being a legal obligation, an EPC serves as a powerful tool, providing a comprehensive understanding of a property’s energy performance and influencing choices that align with environmental sustainability, cost savings, and increased property value.
An EPC holds varied significance depending on your role in the property sector. For homeowners, it’s a guide to energy efficiency, potentially elevating property value. Landlords are legally obliged to provide EPCs, influencing property attractiveness in the competitive rental market. Tenants benefit by estimating energy costs and experiencing enhanced comfort in higher-rated properties. Potential buyers weigh EPC ratings in decision-making, as energy-efficient homes may translate to lower ongoing expenses. In essence, the EPC serves as a key factor influencing cost savings, property value, and regulatory adherence for homeowners, landlords, tenants, and potential buyers alike.
No, an Energy Performance Certificate itself does not have a pass or fail grade. Instead, it provides a rating on a scale from A to G, with A being the most energy-efficient and G being the least. The rating is based on the energy efficiency of the property and its carbon emissions. The purpose of the EPC is to inform potential buyers, tenants, and owners about the energy efficiency of a property, allowing them to make informed decisions and consider potential improvements. Even if a property receives a lower rating, it doesn’t mean it has failed; rather, it indicates areas where energy efficiency could be improved.
You can check if your property has an existing Energy Performance Certificate by visiting the official government website. On this platform, you can search for your property and access information regarding its current EPC status and rating.
