To obtain an EPC certificate, you’ll need to have an accredited energy assessor conduct an energy performance assessment of your property. The assessor will then issue the certificate, which is valid for ten years.

A EPC rating is an assessment of the energy efficiency of a building, expressed as a rating from A to G, with A being very efficient and G being inefficient.

Yes, an EPC rating of C indicates that the property is relatively energy-efficient, with reasonable energy costs. It is above average in the UK, where the median energy efficiency rating is D.

An EPC rating of D suggests that the property has a moderate level of energy efficiency. It’s a common rating in the UK and indicates there are improvements that could be made to enhance efficiency.

An EPC is calculated based on factors like insulation, heating systems, and lighting. The assessment looks at the energy use and carbon dioxide emissions to provide an overall energy efficiency rating.

The cost of an EPC can vary depending on the size of your property and the assessor you choose. Typically, prices range from £35 to £120. It’s best to shop around for quotes from accredited assessors.

The cost of an EPC assessment varies, but it is generally between £35 and £120. The price can depend on the size and location of the property.

An EPC check involves an accredited assessor visiting your property to examine key items such as loft insulation, domestic boilers, hot water tanks, radiators, windows for double glazing, and more. The assessor will then calculate the energy efficiency and provide a rating.

Yes, if you are selling or renting your property, you are legally required to have a valid EPC to show to prospective buyers or tenants. There are a few exceptions, such as listed buildings, temporary structures, and residential buildings intended to be used less than four months of the year.
