A domestic EPC rates a residential property from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), based on its construction, insulation, heating system and other fixed features. It is a legal requirement in England and Wales whenever a property is marketed for sale or let. EPCs are valid for ten years and are lodged on the official government register at epcregister.com, where anyone can check a certificate for any address.
An EPC is a legal requirement before a residential property can be marketed for sale. The certificate must be in place before the first advertisement goes live, not once a buyer has been found. If your existing EPC is more than ten years old, it needs renewing before marketing can begin.
A valid EPC is required for every rented property and must be provided to prospective tenants before they sign an agreement. Under current Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), rental properties must reach at least an E rating. Properties rated F or G cannot legally be let without a registered exemption. Government proposals would require all rented properties to reach a C rating by 2030. Getting an accurate assessment now tells you exactly where you stand. See our landlord EPC page for more detail.
Many lenders now request a current EPC as part of a remortgage application, particularly if the certificate is several years old. Having one ready avoids delays to the application. Green mortgage products offer preferential rates for energy-efficient homes and typically require the property to be rated C or above. An up-to-date EPC is the starting point for any of these financial applications.
Prices are fixed by property size and include travel within our standard coverage area. No VAT. The price you see is the price you pay.
| Property | Price |

| Standard domestic property (up to 3 bedrooms) | From £75 |

No VAT charged. Travel within approximately 10 miles of Deganwy is included. Properties beyond that range may incur a small additional travel fee, confirmed at the time of booking. Landlords booking multiple properties at the same time can ask about a reduced rate. Get in touch for any quote.
Get in touch and we will confirm availability and agree a time that suits you. We will ask for the property address, type and the purpose of the EPC: sale, let or other. Typical availability is within one to two days of contact.
I visit the property and carry out a non-invasive inspection. I measure rooms, check insulation levels, windows, heating systems and construction type. You do not need to prepare anything. Just make sure I can access all areas, including the loft if there is one.
The EPC is produced using accredited software and lodged directly on the official government register at epcregister.com. You receive the reference number and a link to the certificate by email. The certificate is valid for ten years from the date of issue.

Yes. If you are a landlord or property manager with several properties to assess, we offer a small reduction per property when booking as a group. Get in touch to discuss your portfolio and we can agree a price before anything is booked.
Look up any EPC at find-energy-certificate.service.gov.uk and search by postcode or certificate reference number. Domestic and commercial certificates are on separate registers. If your certificate is approaching ten years old or the rating no longer meets current requirements, contact us to arrange a new assessment.
