Book an EPC from £75Why it matters
Your EPC is more than a certificate
It's a legal requirement to sell or let your home, a factor in mortgage decisions, and a roadmap for cutting your energy bills.
Required by law
You must have a valid EPC to sell or rent any property in England, Scotland, or Wales. EPCs are valid for 10 years.
Affects your mortgage
Lenders increasingly offer better rates on A and B-rated homes. A good rating also supports higher property valuations.
Adds property value
Rightmove data shows A and B-rated homes sell for up to 14% more than equivalent D-rated properties in the same area.
