The basics
What is a Domestic EPC?
A Domestic Energy Performance Certificate is a report that measures the energy efficiency of your home. It uses a rating system from A to G: A-rated homes are highly efficient, while G-rated homes need significant improvements. The certificate helps you understand how your property uses energy and where you could make changes to reduce wastage.
An EPC includes more than just a rating. It shows estimated energy costs, carbon emissions and recommendations for improvements. These suggestions are realistic and practical. Adding loft insulation, improving glazing or upgrading heating systems can make your home more comfortable and cost-efficient. Most homeowners find it reassuring to have this information in hand, whether they are planning renovations, selling or renting.
Our process is streamlined so homeowners receive an accurate EPC with minimal disruption and no unnecessary delays. If you are selling, renting or completing a new build, an EPC is a crucial step: it guarantees legal compliance and gives you a clear picture of your home's energy efficiency and practical ways to save money.

Who needs a Domestic EPC, and when
In London, the law requires a Domestic EPC whenever a property is built, sold or rented out. This includes houses, flats, bungalows and newly constructed homes. Your certificate must be ready before your property is marketed, and it is valid for ten years unless you make major energy-related changes.
Some properties may be exempt, such as certain listed buildings or standalone structures. If you are unsure, EPC Certs can advise whether your home needs a certificate and help you navigate any special cases.
Whether you are selling or renting, a valid EPC must be in place before the property is advertised. New or significantly altered properties also require a fresh certificate. Many homeowners are unaware that skipping this step can cause delays, but we make the process smooth and handle the technicalities so you do not have to.
Selling a homeRequired before marketing. Estate agents and solicitors will ask for the certificate number.
Letting a propertyMust be given to tenants at the start of the tenancy and meet MEES (band E or above).
RemortgagingLenders increasingly request a current EPC, especially for green mortgage products.
New builds and conversionsA certificate is required before completion, sale or occupation.
Benefits of a good Domestic EPC rating
A high EPC rating brings advantages for both homeowners and occupants:
- Lower energy bills as a result of more efficient heating, lighting and insulation.
- A reduced carbon footprint that supports environmental initiatives and greener living.
- Increased appeal for buyers and tenants who value sustainability and energy efficiency.
- Better access to green mortgage rates and future-proofing against tighter rental standards.

Landlords and MEES
Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards and upcoming EPC regulations
Landlords must meet MEES regulations, which currently require a minimum EPC rating of E for rental properties. If a property falls below this, upgrades or a registered exemption are necessary. Failure to comply can lead to fines of up to £5,000 per property. An EPC helps you identify essential improvements and ensures you meet legal requirements.
The UK is tightening energy efficiency rules for rental homes. Government proposals would require new tenancies to reach at least band C, with existing tenancies following later, and an updated EPC methodology is due to give more weight to insulation, windows and renewable energy. Acting early means avoiding fines, saving money and making homes greener, easier to rent and more comfortable for tenants.
