An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) tells you how energy efficient a property is, and whether it’s up to current UK standards. It’s not something landlords can choose to have; it’s the law to have one when renting out or selling a place. Without a current EPC, you can’t legally advertise your property.
Don’t risk being delayed or breaking the rules. Arrange your EPC in London now and get your rating promptly, with straightforward advice on how to improve your rating.
What is an EPC certificate? It’s an official document that gives a property an energy efficiency score from A (best) to G (worst). It looks at how much energy the property uses, and what it will cost to power it.
An energy assessor will check important features during their visit – things like the insulation, the heating, the windows, and the lights. You’ll then get a thorough report with your current EPC rating and sensible ideas on how to boost it.
And this isn’t just about paperwork! A good EPC rating means lower fuel bills, a more appealing place for renters, and a higher property value. A bad one might even prevent you from renting it out.
Yes, in the UK it is, according to the Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations. Landlords must have a valid EPC before a property is rented, and the property must meet Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES). Most rental properties currently need at least an E rating, and these rules are likely to become tougher over time. If your property falls below this minimum, you may not be allowed to rent it out until it’s improved, and failing to comply could mean a fine or other restrictions.
An EPC lasts 10 years, but if you do any work on the property, it’s often a good idea to have it reassessed to improve the rating and be prepared for future changes.
We conduct our EPC assessments carefully to provide you with an accurate and reliable energy rating.
The process covers:
We’re not just giving you a certificate; we’re showing you how your property performs and giving you realistic ways to improve it.
After the assessment, you’ll receive your EPC certificate and a complete report, ready to use for legal purposes and when you’re marketing the property.
The price of an EPC depends on the property’s size and what it’s used for. A small flat will be cheaper than a large office building, since more detail is required for the latter. We give you a clear price specifically for your property, so you won’t pay for anything you don’t need.
Once the assessment is finished, your EPC is issued rapidly. In the majority of cases, you’ll have your digital report within 24 to 48 hours, letting you get on with things without delay.
An EPC is only as good as the assessment that creates it. A poor assessment can give you the wrong rating, mean you miss chances to improve, and cause problems with the law later.

An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) shows a property’s energy efficiency and gives it a rating, as well as suggestions for improvements.
It’s a scale from A to G, with A being the most efficient. It shows how much it costs to run the property and how environmentally friendly it is.
It’s valid for 10 years. However, it can be updated sooner if you’ve done work to improve the rating.
You need a qualified energy assessor to inspect your property and issue a certificate after the assessment.
Common things to do include improving insulation, upgrading the heating system, installing energy-saving light bulbs, and improving wind
