What Are Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Guidelines?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) provides a detailed assessment of a building’s energy efficiency. Issued by accredited domestic energy assessors, the EPC gives your property a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), along with recommendations for improvement.


Key EPC Guidelines You Should Know:

  1. Legal Requirement:

    • An EPC is mandatory when selling, renting, or building a property in the UK.

    • Failure to present a valid EPC can result in fines of up to £5,000.

  2. Validity Period:

    • EPCs are valid for 10 years from the date of issue.

  3. Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES):

    • Rental properties in England must meet a minimum EPC rating of E or above.

    • Non-compliance can result in financial penalties.

  4. Who Can Issue an EPC?

  5. When Is an EPC Not Required?

    • Temporary buildings (used <2 years)

    • Standalone buildings <50m²
