Understanding Your EPC Rating
Common Questions
Why can't I find my property's EPC?
Not all properties have an EPC on the register. EPCs are only required when a property is sold, rented, or newly built. If your property hasn't been on the market recently, it may not have an EPC.
Can I use someone else's EPC for my property?
No, each property needs its own individual EPC. Even identical properties in the same development require separate assessments.
Is the EPC register information accurate?
The register shows information as it was at the time of assessment. If changes have been made to the property since then, the information may be outdated.
Can I download the EPC certificate?
Yes, once you find the EPC on the register, you can view and download a PDF copy of the full certificate.
What if my EPC is nearly expired?
You can book a new EPC assessment before the current one expires. There's no requirement to wait until it expires.
How much does a new EPC cost?
Our EPCs start from just £60 per property, with same-day and next-day appointments available.
