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).
An EPC is legally required when:
- Selling a property
- Renting a property
- Building a new property
The certificate also includes recommendations that may help improve the property's energy efficiency.
Most EPC assessments take around 30–60 minutes depending on the size and layout of the property.
