Landlords
A legal requirement
If you’re letting a property, you’ll need an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) – it’s the law! AND by 2030, if you don't have one already you’ll need to have at least a C rating.
Tenant appeal
Apart from meeting legal requirements, a better EPC rating can actually make your property more appealing to tenants. As lower energy bills, a smaller carbon footprint are all factors that renters take into consideration now.
While an EPC gives you insights into ways to boost your property’s efficiency and rating, if you need some more tailored help discussing the most cost effective upgrades to get to a C and above then book our Energy Efficiency Review.

FAQs
How long will an Energy Assessment take?
The energy assessment typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour at your property. The exact duration depends on the size and complexity of the building.
When is the Certificate issued?
Once the assessment is done, the results are entered into government approved software to produce a rating and the certificate. This is then issued to you within 48 hours via email.
Who is responsible for obtaining an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?
The property owner is responsible for obtaining an EPC if the building is being marketed for sale. If the property is for rent, the prospective landlord must obtain it. This certificate must be provided to any potential buyer or tenant upon request and should be given to the ultimate purchaser before completing a sale or rental agreement.
How much does it cost?
The cost of an EPC varies on property size. Prices for our EPC services start at £39.00. For further details, please click here.
What if my home receives a low Energy efficiency rating?
A low rating simply means your home is not as energy efficient as it could be. During the assessment, the assessor will provide recommendations in the accompanying report on how to improve your energy efficiency. Implementing these suggestions can help increase your EPC rating, reduce carbon emissions, and potentially lower your energy bills. However, the decision to take action on the recommendations is entirely up to you. If you want to know what your rating is before obtaining an EPC then you can book an Energy Review.
