Cardiff's housing stock — from Victorian terraces to the Bay
Cardiff's EPC landscape is shaped by its mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Canton, Grangetown, and Roath, large student HMOs around Cathays close to Cardiff University, and newer apartment developments around Cardiff Bay. Around 57% of homes across Cardiff are rated D or below on the EPC scale, and roughly a quarter of properties in the city are in the private rented sector — meaning a large number of landlords will need to reach the government's proposed C minimum for rentals by 2030.
Our accredited assessors cover every CF postcode within the city, from CF10 in the centre and Bay out to CF5 (Ely/Fairwater), CF3 (St Mellons), and CF14 (Whitchurch/Llanishen) — as well as the wider Vale of Glamorgan and Caerphilly borough towns nearby.
Questions about EPCs in Cardiff
How much does an EPC cost in Cardiff?+
An EPC in Cardiff is £105 for up to 3 bedrooms. Each bedroom above 3 adds £10. No hidden fees.
How quickly can I get an EPC in Cardiff?+
We typically have accredited assessors available in Cardiff within 2 working days. Your certificate is emailed within 48 hours of the assessment completing.
Do I need an EPC to sell my house in Cardiff?+
Yes. UK law requires a valid EPC before you can market a property for sale or let. You can be fined up to £5,000 for marketing without one.
What is the average EPC rating in Cardiff?+
The average EPC rating in Cardiff is D. Around 57% of homes in the area are rated D or below — meaning many sellers and landlords need an updated or first-time EPC.
Do landlords in Cardiff need an EPC?+
Yes. All rental properties must have at least an E rating to be legally let. The government plans to raise the minimum to C by 2030. Book now to give yourself time to plan any improvements.
How long does an EPC survey take?+
Most residential assessments take 30 to 60 minutes. The assessor needs access to all rooms, the loft hatch, and the boiler.
How long is an EPC valid for?+
An EPC is valid for 10 years from the date of issue.
Do I need an EPC for a flat in Cardiff?+
Yes. All flats and apartments require an EPC for sale or rental, regardless of whether the building is leasehold or freehold. The EPC covers the individual unit, not the whole building. A seller or landlord of a flat in Cardiff is responsible for commissioning their own certificate.
My EPC has expired — do I need a new one in Cardiff?+
Yes, if you are actively marketing the property. EPCs are valid for 10 years. If yours has expired and you are selling or re-letting in Cardiff, you must obtain a new one before marketing. Takes 60 seconds to book online.
Which CF postcodes do you cover in Cardiff?+
We cover all CF postcodes within the city — CF10 (city centre, Cardiff Bay), CF11 (Riverside, Canton, Grangetown), CF14 (Heath, Whitchurch, Llanishen), CF23 (Pentwyn, Cyncoed), CF24 (Roath, Cathays, Splott), CF5 (Ely, Fairwater, Llandaff) and CF3 (St Mellons, Rumney). Book online and your local accredited assessor is allocated automatically.
Do you cover student HMOs near Cardiff University?+
Yes. Cathays and Roath (CF24) have a large concentration of student houses in multiple occupation. HMOs need a valid EPC in the same way as any other rental property — the certificate covers the building as a whole for a converted house, or the individual unit for a purpose-built flat.
I have a flat in Cardiff Bay — is the EPC assessment different for apartments?+
No — the process is the same. Cardiff Bay's newer apartment blocks are generally quicker to assess than older terraces, since loft access and older heating systems aren't a factor. You'll still get the same tailored recommendations report showing what would improve the rating.
Do you cover Penarth, Barry, and Caerphilly as well as Cardiff?+
Yes — these have their own dedicated pages with local pricing, and we cover the Vale of Glamorgan and Caerphilly borough at the same prices as Cardiff itself. See our Penarth, Barry, and Caerphilly pages, or just enter your postcode when booking.
