Domestic EPC Certificates
Fast, certified Energy Performance Certificates for residential properties. Same-day service available with certificates delivered within 24 hours.
What is a Domestic EPC?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates your home's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It shows potential buyers or tenants how much energy your property uses and gives recommendations for improving efficiency.
EPCs are legally required whenever you sell, rent, or build a property. They're valid for 10 years and must be made available to prospective buyers or tenants before they commit to viewing.
Our accredited Domestic Energy Assessors (DEAs) conduct thorough assessments of your property, examining insulation, heating systems, windows, lighting, and more to calculate your rating.

When Do You Need an EPC?
An EPC is legally required in several situations
Selling Your Home
You must have a valid EPC before you can market your property for sale. Estate agents cannot list your home without one.
Renting Out Property
Landlords must provide an EPC to tenants before they sign a tenancy agreement. Properties must have a minimum E rating.
New Build Completion
All new build properties require an EPC upon completion before they can be occupied or sold.
Certificate Expired
EPCs are valid for 10 years. If yours has expired and you're selling or renting, you'll need a new one.
After Major Renovations
If you've made significant energy improvements, a new EPC can reflect your higher rating and property value.
Applying for Grants
Many government grants and schemes require a current EPC to determine eligibility for funding.
