What is an EPC?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) measures how energy efficient a property is and gives it a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
The certificate also includes recommendations that may help improve the property's energy efficiency.
An EPC is required when:
- Selling a property
- Renting a property
- Building a new home
Most EPC assessments take around 30–60 minutes, depending on the size and layout of the property.
