What is an Energy Performance Certificate?
An Energy Performance Certificate, commonly referred to as an EPC, shows how energy-efficient a property is at the time of assessment. The certificate gives the property a rating from A to G, with A the most efficient. This rating helps owners understand how much energy the building is likely to use and where it may be losing heat or power unnecessarily.
Alongside the rating, the EPC includes practical recommendations that highlight where improvements could be made. These are not theoretical suggestions: they are based on the way the property is built and how it currently performs. In many cases, relatively straightforward changes can improve efficiency and reduce ongoing energy costs.
From a legal point of view, an EPC is mandatory in the UK when a property is sold or rented out. It must be in place before the property is advertised, and without a valid certificate the property cannot be legally marketed.

The right assessment for every property
There are several types of EPC, each intended for different property uses. EPC Certs offers tailored assessments for each type to ensure full compliance.
Domestic EPCs
Required for houses, flats and bungalows. If you are selling or renting out your home, a valid EPC must be in place before marketing begins. The assessment reviews insulation, heating systems, windows and lighting to determine overall efficiency.
Domestic EPC LondonCommercial EPCs
Necessary for business properties including offices, shops and warehouses larger than 50 square metres. The assessment is based on an asset rating, which looks at the building's structure and fixed services to determine how efficiently it is designed to use energy.
Commercial EPC LondonNew build (SAP) EPCs
SAP EPCs are used for new builds and larger non-domestic or mixed-use developments. These evaluations involve detailed energy calculations and demonstrate compliance with current building regulations before final approval.
Request a QuoteWhy you need an EPC
In the UK, the Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations 2012 make it a legal requirement to have an EPC in place before marketing a property for sale or rent. Certificates remain valid for ten years unless major energy-related changes are made. Without one, you risk fines, delays or complications with rental agreements and property sales.
An EPC also shows where a property can improve its energy efficiency, helping to reduce carbon emissions. By following the recommendations you can lower energy bills over time, making the property more cost-effective to run while contributing to a greener footprint.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. An EPC is required by law when selling or renting a property in the UK, and it must be in place before the property is marketed.
The cost depends on the size and type of property. Domestic EPCs start at £89 and commercial EPCs at £199, with every price confirmed before booking.
EPC ratings range from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The rating is determined by factors like insulation, heating systems, glazing, lighting and overall energy efficiency.
An EPC assessment checks the heating system, insulation, windows, lighting and overall energy use, using government-approved methodology.
Properties do not "fail" an EPC, but low ratings may require improvements to meet legal standards, particularly for rental properties which must reach at least band E.
You can book an EPC online in under two minutes, by phone on 020 3996 3057, or by email. Same-day and next-day appointments are available across London.
Listed buildings are not automatically exempt. An EPC is not required only where compliance with minimum energy standards would unacceptably alter the building's character. EPC Certs can help clarify whether your property qualifies.
