Domestic Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)
Get reliable Domestic Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) for landlords, homeowners, and property managers across London and Essex. A valid EPC is required by law when selling or letting a property, and is mandatory for landlords before marketing a rental home.
What is a Domestic EPC?
A Domestic Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) measures the energy efficiency of a residential property using an A–G rating, where A is most efficient and G is least efficient. An EPC provides essential information on a property’s likely running costs, carbon emissions, and recommendations for improving energy efficiency.
In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, EPCs must be produced by a qualified Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) who visits the property and collects data on insulation, heating, lighting, and other key elements to produce an accurate and legal certificate.
When is an EPC Required?
You need a valid EPC when:
- Renting a residential property Selling a property New tenancies When an existing EPC has expired
- Selling a property
- New tenancies
- When an existing EPC has expired
EPCs are generally valid for 10 years, and failure to produce one when required can result in penalties and delays in sales or lettings.
