Frequently Asked Questions

A selection of the most frequently asked questions around EPCs.

What is an EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a document that assesses the energy efficiency of a property, providing it with a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It also includes recommendations for improving energy performance, potentially reducing energy bills.

How do I get an EPC?

To obtain an EPC, you need to hire a qualified domestic energy assessor to survey your property. You can find local assessors or reach out to a reputable company like Saxon Surveying Ltd., which provides a reliable, fast, and comprehensive service for EPC assessments.

How much does an EPC cost?

The cost of an EPC can vary depending on the type and size of the property, as well as whether it is for a residential, commercial or new build property. Typically, the price ranges from £60 to £120 for domestic properties. However, larger commercial properties may incur higher costs.

How long is an EPC valid for?

An EPC is valid for 10 years from the date of issue. However, if you make significant changes to the property that could affect its energy performance, such as installing new insulation or a more efficient boiler, you may want to get a new EPC to reflect these improvements. If you are unsure whether your EPC is valid or not, check the Government Register - Find an energy certificate - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) 

Do I need an EPC for renting or selling my property?

Yes, by law, an EPC is required when renting or selling a property in the UK. It must be available to potential buyers or tenants as soon as you start marketing the property. The EPC must also meet minimum energy efficiency standards.

What are the penalties for not having an EPC?

If you do not provide a valid EPC when required, you could face fines of up to £5,000. Additionally, if your property does not meet the minimum energy efficiency standards, it may not be legally rented out or sold.

How can I improve my EPC rating?

Improving your EPC rating can involve several steps, such as upgrading insulation, installing double-glazed windows, using energy-efficient lighting, or investing in a new boiler or renewable energy source. Saxon Surveying Ltd. can help you understand the best ways to improve your property's rating based on your current EPC.

Who can issue an EPC?

Only a qualified and accredited energy assessor can issue an EPC. You can check if any assessors have current accreditation by looking at the Government register - Get a new energy certificate - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

How can I check my current EPC rating?

You can check your current EPC rating by visiting the UK government’s EPC register online and searching for your property using your postcode. Find an energy certificate - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
