Domestic EPCs
Straightforward, fast EPC assessments for homeowners, landlords, and agents.
Why EPCs Matter
If you’re selling or letting a property, you’re legally required to have a valid Energy Performance Certificate in place before it goes on the market. It’s one of the first things estate and letting agents will ask for, so it’s worth sorting early rather than scrambling once a buyer or tenant is interested.
An EPC is also often needed if you’re applying for certain home improvement grants or funding schemes – many require a valid certificate before work can be approved.
And if you’re planning renovations or a switch to a more efficient heating system, an up-to-date EPC gives you a clear starting point – showing exactly where your property stands now, and what would make the biggest difference.
Whatever the reason, getting it done properly the first time means one less thing to worry about when it actually matters.

How It Works
Getting your Domestic EPC is straightforward. Here’s what to expect from enquiry to certificate.
1. Book
We'll arrange a site visit at a time that works for you. Our assessor will need access to all areas of the building, including plant rooms, roof spaces, and service areas.
2. Assessment
Our assessor carries out a full survey, recording construction details, heating and cooling systems, insulation, lighting, and other factors that affect energy performance.
3. Certification
Once the assessment is fully complete, we will produce your performance certificate along with any required recommendations included in a comprehensive report.
What You'll Get
Once your assessment is complete, you’ll receive your Energy Performance Certificate – showing your property’s energy rating on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). This is the document you’re legally required to have when selling or letting your home.
Your EPC doesn’t just give you a letter, though. It comes with a breakdown of the main factors affecting your rating – things like insulation, glazing, and your current heating system – along with practical recommendations for improving it. If you’re thinking about upgrading to a more efficient heating system, this is often the best starting point, since it shows exactly where the biggest gains are available.
Your certificate is valid for 10 years from the date of issue, and we register it on the national EPC register, so it’s on hand whenever you – or a buyer, tenant, or their agent – need to check it.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The quick and easy answers to some of our most asked questions.
How much does a Domestic EPC cost?
Cost depends on your property’s size and type. Get in touch with your property details and we’ll give you a clear, upfront quote.
How long is a Domestic EPC valid for?
10 years from the date of issue, unless the property undergoes significant changes that would affect its energy performance.
I'm a landlord - do I need an EPC?
Yes. It’s a legal requirement to have a valid EPC in place before marketing a property to let, and it must meet the minimum required rating.
I'm planning renovations - should I get my EPC done before or after?
If you’re making changes that could affect efficiency, such as new insulation or a heating system upgrade, it’s often worth waiting until after the work is done so your certificate reflects the improvement. If you’re not renovating soon, there’s no need to delay.
How long does the assessment take?
A typical domestic assessment takes around an hour, depending on the size and layout of your property.
