EPCs are a legal requirement in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland for most residential and commercial properties. You need a valid EPC when:
- Selling any property
- Renting residential or commercial properties
- Constructing new buildings
- Making major renovations to existing properties
Estate agents cannot market properties without valid energy performance certificates, and landlords face penalties for renting properties without proper documentation. The legal requirement applies to most buildings, though some exceptions exist for listed buildings and certain temporary structures.
Residential Energy Performance Certificates Selly Oak
Domestic energy assessments cover houses, flats, and other residential properties. The assessment examines heating systems, insulation (including cavity wall insulation and loft insulation), double glazing, and hot water systems. Residential EPCs help homeowners understand their home’s energy efficiency and identify potential savings through recommended improvements.
Commercial Energy Performance Certificates
Commercial properties require specialized assessments covering larger heating systems, ventilation, lighting, and energy management systems. Business properties often have more complex energy requirements, and commercial EPCs provide detailed analysis for property managers and business owners.
Current and Potential Ratings
Your EPC shows both current energy efficiency and potential rating achievable through recommended improvements. The rating scale runs from A (92-100 points) to G (1-20 points), with most UK properties falling between C and E ratings.

FAQ Section
An EPC, or Energy Performance Certificate, is a legally required document that assesses the energy efficiency of a building. It provides a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and includes recommendations for improving energy performance.
You need an EPC if you're selling, renting, or building a property in the UK. It’s a legal requirement for residential and commercial properties unless the building is exempt (e.g. listed properties in some cases).
An EPC is valid for 10 years from the date of issue. If you're selling or letting a property, you must ensure the EPC is up-to-date.
EPC costs vary depending on the type and size of the property. For a typical residential property, the cost ranges from £75 to £120. Commercial EPCs are usually more expensive due to their complexity.
If you fail to provide an EPC when required, you could face a fine of up to £5,000, depending on the type of building and situation. It's a legal obligation under the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations.
