Blackpool and the Fylde Coast — a landlord hotspot
Blackpool has one of the highest proportions of private rented housing in the North West, with around 38% of homes in the private rented sector. With 65% of Blackpool properties rated D or below on the EPC scale, many landlords need to act to meet the current minimum E rating — and prepare for the government's planned C minimum by 2030. Our accredited assessors cover all FY postcodes across the Fylde Coast, from Fleetwood (FY7) in the north through to Lytham St Annes (FY8) in the south.

Do I need an EPC to sell my house in Blackpool?+

What is the average EPC rating in Blackpool?+

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 Blackpool?+
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 Blackpool is responsible for commissioning their own certificate.
My EPC has expired — do I need a new one in Blackpool?+
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 Blackpool, you must obtain a new one before marketing. Takes 60 seconds to book online.

I have a holiday let in Blackpool — do I need an EPC?+
Holiday lets used exclusively for short-term bookings (under 31 days per letting and marketed as short-term only) may be exempt from the EPC requirement if the property is not occupied for more than 4 months per year. However, if your Blackpool property is let on a standard tenancy — even seasonally — an EPC is legally required. Many holiday let owners obtain one anyway for mortgage, sale, and insurance purposes. If in doubt, book an assessment.
Blackpool has a lot of HMOs — can you assess houses in multiple occupation?+
Yes. HMOs in Blackpool are assessed in the same way as standard residential properties. The EPC covers the building as a whole for a converted house, or the individual unit for a purpose-built flat. All bedroom counts are welcome — the base price covers up to 3 bedrooms with a fixed £10 charge per additional bedroom.
