FAQ
What is an EPC?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) measures how energy efficient a property is, using a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
It provides an estimate of energy costs for heating, hot water and lighting, and includes recommendations to help improve efficiency and reduce running costs.
An EPC is a legal requirement when selling or renting a property in the UK.
What information does an EPC include?
Your EPC will show:
Energy efficiency rating from A to G
Estimated energy costs for the property
Environmental impact rating (CO₂ emissions)
Recommendations for improving efficiency
Potential rating if improvements are carried out
Summary of the property’s construction and heating systems
What does NOT fall within the scope of an EPC?
An EPC is not a structural survey and does not assess the condition or safety of the property.
An EPC does not include:
Structural defects (cracks, subsidence, etc.)
Electrical safety inspections
Gas safety inspections
Boiler servicing or performance testing
Plumbing inspections
Identification of damp or mould issues
Asbestos inspections
Legionella risk assessments
Market valuation of the property
Retrofit design or specification
The EPC is a visual, non-invasive assessment of the property’s energy performance only.
What to expect during an EPC assessment
The EPC survey is straightforward and typically takes 60-90 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the property.
During the visit, the assessor will:
Measure the property and floor area
Review construction type (walls, roof, floor)
Inspect insulation levels where visible
Record window types (double glazing, etc.)
Assess heating systems and controls
Check hot water systems
Note fixed lighting types
Record renewable technologies (if present)
Take photographs for audit purposes
Collect basic property information
The assessor will not move heavy furniture or lift floor coverings, so access to key areas such as the boiler, loft hatch, and meters is helpful.
The EPC certificate is usually produced within 24–48 hours of the visit.
Minimum EPC rating required to rent a property
Under current regulations in England and Wales, most privately rented properties must achieve a minimum EPC rating of:
E rating or above
This is part of the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) regulations.
Properties rated F or G cannot normally be legally rented out unless an exemption has been registered.
Improving the EPC rating can help:
Ensure compliance with rental regulations
Reduce tenant energy costs
Increase property attractiveness to tenants
Improve long-term property value
How to prepare for an EPC visit
To help the assessment run smoothly, please ensure:
Access to all rooms
Access to the boiler
Access to the loft (if available)
Any information about insulation or improvements
Details of recent extensions or upgrades
If documentation is available (such as insulation certificates), this can help improve accuracy.
