At EPC Certs, we provide professional Domestic Energy Performance Certificate services designed to be efficient, clear, and reliable. Our process is streamlined to guarantee homeowners receive an accurate EPC with minimal disruption and no unnecessary delays.
If you are selling, renting, or completing a new build, an EPC is a crucial step. It not only guarantees legal compliance but also provides you with a clear picture of your home’s energy efficiency and practical ways to save money. We are fully accredited and experienced, so you can trust that your certificate will be accurate and delivered quickly.
A Domestic Energy Performance Certificate (DEPC) is a report that measures the energy efficiency of your home. It uses a rating system from A to G. A-rated homes are highly efficient, while G-rated homes need significant improvements. The certificate helps you understand how your property uses energy and where you could make changes to reduce wastage.
An EPC includes more than just a rating. It shows estimated energy costs, carbon emissions, and recommendations for improvements. These suggestions are realistic and practical.
For example, adding loft insulation, improving glazing, or upgrading heating systems can make your home more comfortable and cost-efficient. Most homeowners find it reassuring to have this information in hand, whether they are planning renovations, selling, or renting.
In London, the law requires a Domestic EPC whenever a property is built, sold, or rented out. This includes houses, flats, bungalows, and newly constructed homes. Your certificate must be ready before your property is marketed. It is valid for ten years unless you make major energy-related changes.
Some properties may be exempt, such as certain listed buildings or standalone structures. If you are unsure, EPC CERTS can advise whether your home needs a certificate and help you navigate any special cases.
No matter if you are selling or renting your home, a valid EPC must be in place before it is advertised. New or significantly altered properties also require a fresh certificate. Many homeowners are unaware that skipping this step can cause delays. But don’t worry, we, at EPC Certs, make the process smooth and straightforward, handling the technicalities so you don’t have to.
A high EPC rating brings advantages for both homeowners and occupants, such as:
Booking an EPC with EPC CERTS is easy. You can do it online, by phone, or via email. You will provide basic details about your property, including its type, size, and number of bedrooms.
On the day of the assessment, our qualified domestic energy assessor will visit your home. They will inspect your property, measure rooms, check heating and lighting systems, and record energy-related features. Most homeowners find it simpler than they expect. The assessor will explain everything clearly and answer any questions you have.
After the inspection, we prepare your certificate and send it to you within 24 to 48 hours. Your EPC is valid for ten years, giving you long-term peace of mind.
During the assessment, the following areas are checked:
Our domestic EPC pricing is clear and transparent, with costs based on the size and layout of the property. Prices typically start from competitive rates for smaller homes and increase slightly for larger or more complex properties. All prices are confirmed upfront, with no hidden fees, and include the full assessment, EPC report, and official lodging on the UK EPC Register.
As per the news, the UK is tightening energy efficiency rules for rental homes. By 2026, new tenancies will need at least a Band C rating, with existing tenancies following by 2028, and some properties aiming for Band B by 2030. Updated EPC methods in late 2026 will check insulation, windows, and renewable energy. Acting early means avoiding fines, saving money, and making homes greener, easier to rent, and more comfortable for tenants.
Landlords must meet MEES regulations, which currently require a minimum EPC rating of E for rental properties. If a property falls below this, upgrades or exemptions are necessary. Failure to comply can lead to fines. An EPC helps you identify essential improvements and ensures you meet legal requirements.
