The Legal Certificate Every Property Needs
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates a property's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). A valid EPC is generally required when a covered residential property is marketed for sale or rent in England and Wales.
Beyond the legal obligation, an EPC is a powerful commercial tool. Higher ratings can make a property more attractive to buyers and may support eligibility for green mortgage products from major lenders. Eligible households may also access grant funding for energy improvements through schemes such as Warm Homes and ECO4.
All our EPCs are issued by fully DEA-qualified assessors, lodged directly to the government's energy certificate service, and emailed to you — typically within 24 hours of the completed assessment.
