What Is an Energy Performance Certificate?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is an official document that provides information about a property's energy efficiency and estimated energy performance.
A domestic EPC gives a residential property an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It also includes recommendations for improvements that could help reduce energy consumption and improve the property's rating.
EPCs are commonly required when selling or renting out a property in England, subject to applicable exemptions. The assessment must be completed by an accredited domestic energy assessor and the certificate is registered on the official EPC register.
Official Energy Rating
Understand your property's energy efficiency with an A–G rating.
Energy Improvement Recommendations
Receive recommendations for potential energy efficiency improvements.
Valid for 10 Years
A domestic EPC is normally valid for 10 years from the date of issue.
You may not need a new assessment if your existing certificate is still valid. You can check whether a property has a registered EPC using the official government service.
What Does a Domestic EPC Assessor Check?
During a domestic EPC assessment, an accredited energy assessor examines the key features that affect your property's energy efficiency. The assessment is generally non-invasive and uses property measurements, visual observations and supporting evidence where required.
Property Size & Layout
We measure the property and record its layout, floor area, number of storeys, construction type and relevant heat-loss features.
Walls, Roof & Insulation
We assess wall and roof construction, loft insulation, floor insulation where relevant, and available evidence of energy efficiency improvements.
Windows & External Doors
We record the glazing type, window characteristics and relevant external doors to assess their contribution to heat loss.
Heating Systems & Controls
We identify the main heating system, boiler or heat pump, radiators, thermostats, programmers and thermostatic radiator valves where fitted.
Hot Water Systems
We assess how hot water is produced and stored, including hot water cylinders, cylinder insulation and relevant heating controls.
Lighting & Renewable Energy
We record fixed lighting efficiency and relevant renewable technologies, including solar panels, where present and applicable to the assessment.

EPC Legal Requirements for Landlords & Sellers
Energy Performance Certificates are a legal requirement for most residential properties being sold or rented in England. Understanding your responsibilities can help you avoid delays, penalties and compliance issues.
EPC Requirements When Selling
If you're selling a residential property, you must commission an EPC before marketing it unless a valid certificate already exists or an exemption applies. The EPC must be made available to prospective buyers as required by law.
EPC Requirements for Landlords
Landlords generally need a valid EPC when marketing a residential property for rent. The certificate must be made available to prospective tenants and provided to the incoming tenant.
EPC Validity — 10 Years
A domestic EPC is normally valid for 10 years, unless replaced by a newer certificate. You generally do not need a new assessment for every sale or tenancy if a valid EPC is available.
EPC Ratings in Property Advertisements
Where an EPC rating is available, property advertisements must include the energy performance rating. This helps buyers and tenants compare properties before making a decision.
Exemptions & Non-Compliance
Certain buildings and circumstances may qualify for an EPC exemption. Failure to meet applicable EPC requirements can result in enforcement action and financial penalties.
Future Energy Efficiency Requirements
The government has announced plans for higher energy efficiency standards for privately rented homes from 1 October 2030, with revised assessment measures and transitional arrangements. Landlords should review official guidance as the requirements are introduced and consider improvements ahead of time.

Domestic EPC Certificate Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about Energy Performance Certificates? Find answers to common questions about domestic EPC assessments, pricing, validity and legal requirements in London.
01 How much does a domestic EPC cost in London?
At Certify My Property, domestic EPC assessments start from £79 for a one-bedroom property and from £99 for properties with two to five bedrooms. Larger or more complex properties may require a tailored quotation.
02 How long is an EPC certificate valid for?
A domestic Energy Performance Certificate is normally valid for 10 years unless replaced by a newer certificate. You can check whether your property already has a valid EPC using the official government register.
03 How long does a domestic EPC assessment take?
Many domestic EPC assessments take approximately 30–60 minutes, although the time depends on the property's size, layout, complexity and access arrangements. Larger properties may take longer.
04 Do I need an EPC to sell my house?
In most cases, yes. An EPC must be commissioned before a residential property is marketed for sale, unless a valid EPC already exists or an exemption applies.
The EPC provides prospective buyers with information about the property's assessed energy performance.
05 Do landlords need an EPC to rent a property?
Landlords generally need a valid EPC when marketing a residential property for rent. For most covered privately rented homes in England, the current minimum energy efficiency standard is EPC rating E, unless a valid exemption applies.
06 Can I rent out a property with an EPC rating F or G?
Under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards, landlords generally cannot let covered privately rented properties with an EPC rating of F or G unless an applicable exemption is registered.
An EPC can still be issued with an F or G rating, but the certificate does not itself confirm that the property can legally be let.
07 What does an EPC assessor check?
A domestic energy assessor examines features including property dimensions, wall and roof construction, insulation, glazing, heating systems, heating controls, hot water, lighting and applicable renewable technologies.
The assessment is generally visual and non-invasive.
08 How quickly will I receive my EPC certificate?
After the property inspection, the assessor processes the information and lodges the certificate on the official EPC register.
Certificates are typically provided within 24–48 hours after the assessment, subject to the necessary information being available and successful registration. We can confirm the expected timeframe when booking.
09 Can I improve my property's EPC rating?
Yes. Depending on the property, improvements such as additional insulation, better heating controls, efficient heating systems, improved glazing and solar panels may improve the assessed EPC rating.
Your EPC includes recommendations specific to your property, although individual improvements do not guarantee a particular rating.
10 Do I need a new EPC after renovating my property?
Not necessarily. An existing EPC normally remains valid for its 10-year period, even if you make improvements to the property.
However, you may wish to obtain a new assessment to reflect upgrades. Certain building works or conversions can also trigger separate energy certification requirements.
11 What happens if my EPC rating is too low?
Your EPC will still record the property's assessed rating and provide recommendations for potential improvements.
If you are a landlord, a low rating may affect whether the property can legally be let under applicable energy efficiency regulations.
12 Can I combine an EPC with other property certificates?
Yes. Certify My Property offers property compliance services that can be arranged together, including EPC assessments, Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) and Gas Safety Certificates.
