An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement for selling, letting, or building properties in the UK. It provides an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), alongside recommendations for improvement. In London and across the UK, having an EPC is vital for regulatory compliance and to help improve property energy usage.
Can You Get an EPC Remotely in 2025?
Short answer: No, an EPC cannot be completed entirely remotely. A qualified and accredited EPC assessor must visit your property in person to carry out the assessment. This is because the EPC process involves checking specific physical attributes of the building, including:
Insulation levels
Wall and roof construction
Heating and cooling systems
Double glazing
Ventilation and lighting
These details require on-site inspection to ensure accuracy and compliance with UK government standards.
What Can Be Done Remotely?
While the physical survey cannot be done remotely, the following steps can be arranged online or via phone:
Booking your EPC assessment (Book Now)
Quotation and pricing confirmation
EPC report delivery (PDF format via email)
Recommendations and consultation on improvements
Why On-Site Assessments Are Still Required
The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities mandates that only an in-person visit by a Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) can yield a valid EPC. The data collected is input into the RdSAP software, which calculates the final energy rating.
