EPC Ratings Explained
EPCs rate a property's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The rating is based on factors including insulation, heating systems, windows, and renewable energy installations.
Rental properties in England must achieve a minimum E rating. The government has proposed raising this to C for new tenancies in the future.

Common Questions
When do I need an EPC?
You need an EPC when selling or renting a residential or commercial property, when constructing a new building, or when applying for certain government grants and schemes. Rental properties must have a minimum EPC rating of E.
How long does an EPC last?
An EPC is valid for 10 years from the date of issue. You can use an existing EPC if it is less than 10 years old, unless significant changes have been made to the property.
How long does the assessment take?
A domestic EPC assessment typically takes 30–60 minutes depending on the size of the property. Commercial assessments vary depending on the size and complexity of the building.
What happens if my property has a low EPC rating?
A low rating doesn't prevent a sale, but rental properties must meet a minimum E rating. We can advise on cost-effective improvements to raise your rating — and our retrofit assessment service provides a detailed improvement plan.
Do I need an EPC for a listed building?
Listed buildings are generally exempt from EPC requirements when compliance would unacceptably alter their character or appearance. We can advise on your specific situation.
