What are EPCs for?
An EPC shows a property’s energy efficiency with a rating ranging from A to G. An “A” rating indicates high energy efficiency while “G” indicates poor energy efficiency. It also has recommendations for improving a property’s rating.
Property owners are legally required to show potential buyers and tenants an EPC. It helps inform their decision when making investments.
EPCs are required whenever you rent out, sell, or build a property. They’re also required for property conversions, renovations that increase floor space or change a property’s number of rooms, and modifications that alter a property’s energy efficiency.

Types of EPCs
Residential EPC
Included in the data provided by a residential EPC is a property’s energy consumption, potential savings per year, environmental impact rating, and overall energy efficiency rating. Landowners must have an EPC before selling or renting out their property, and they must have a rating of “E” or higher.
There are exemptions that allow properties to have a rating lower than “E” for 5 years, but these are made after a completed energy assessment and only under certain conditions.
Residential EPCs are typically valid for 10 years and should be renewed as soon as possible upon expiry. This is especially important for landlords as EPCs are required for all rented out properties.
Commercial EPC
A commercial EPC measures a building’s CO2 emissions in tonnes. This helps buyers and tenants evaluate the energy costs associated with an investment.
Commercial EPCs are required for selling and renting out commercial properties like offices, grocery stores, and factories. Owners must present the certificate without charge.
However, some commercial properties like outbuildings with less than 50 square meters of space and temporary buildings are exempt from this.
SAP EPC
A Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) EPC is required for buildings upon construction and when a property is converted. The one overseeing the building work is responsible for providing the owner with the EPC.
A conversion involves changing the property’s function such as when a single-family home is divided into multiple flats or when a barn is transformed into an investment property.
SAP EPCs don’t require inspections. Instead, one of our assessors will contact the contractor for the property’s specifications and use that data to perform an energy assessment.
Ensure Compliance and Avoid Fines
Non-compliance comes with consequences. If you’re found making a transaction involving your property that requires an EPC but don’t have a certificate, you will face fines of £500 to £5,000. Avoid this with Energy Performance Certificates.

How Does an Energy Assessment Work?
Inspection
Before your property can be issued an EPC, we first need to send one of our certified energy assessors to inspect your buildings. For the average two-bedroom house, it takes about 30 minutes, though larger buildings may take longer.
Our energy assessor will go through each room and check for the following:
These are key items that affect your property’s energy efficiency. From the inspection, our assessor gathers data.
Assessment
Our energy assessor takes the data gathered from the inspection and inputs into an accredited software. They then calculate your property’s energy efficiency rating. We will create a report and send you your certificate.
