Energy Performance Certificates (EPCS)

What is an EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate is a legal document which shows how energy efficient a property or building is. EPCS use a coloured diagram similar to those on new household electrical appliances and tells you what energy band your property or building falls into.

When do I need an EPC?

An EPC is required in the UK whenever a property is:



✓ Marketed for sale.

✓ Marketed for rent.

✓ Is newly built.

The EPC is valid for 10 years or until a newer EPC is produced for the same property. It is recommended that a property's EPC should be made available to potential buyers as soon as it is marketed for sale or rent.

What does an EPC show:

✓ A breakdown of a property’s energy performance.

✓ Its environmental impact.

✓ The property’s potential production of CO2 emissions.

✓ Recommendations for improvements.

✓ Estimated energy use alongside potential savings.
