Understanding Your EPC
Essential energy performance information for UK homeowners, landlords, and property sellers.
What is an EPC?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) provides an energy efficiency rating (from A to G) for a property. It contains information about a property's energy use and typical energy costs, alongside recommendations on how to reduce energy use and save money.
The Definition
A professional assessment of your property's fabric, heating, and lighting efficiency.
Legal Requirement
Mandatory whenever a property is built, sold, or rented in the United Kingdom.
10 Year Validity
Once issued, your EPC certificate is valid for 10 years for all marketing purposes.
A-G Rating Scale
Properties are ranked on a standardized color-coded scale of energy efficiency.
The Energy Rating Scale
The EPC uses a scale from A to G. Understanding where your property sits is the first step toward reducing your carbon footprint and energy bills.
- A-C: Highly efficient, modern standard
- D-E: Average efficiency, potential for upgrade
- F-G: Poor efficiency, urgent improvements needed
