Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Ratings Explained
When you receive an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for your property, it comes with a grade from A to G—where A is the most energy-efficient and G is the least. These ratings reflect your property’s energy usage, environmental impact, and estimated energy costs, helping buyers, tenants, and owners understand the building’s overall efficiency.
EPC Grading Scale:
A (92–100): Highly energy efficient – newer or well-insulated buildings.
B (81–91): Very efficient – good insulation and low heating costs.
C (69–80): Average efficiency – typical for most UK homes.
D (55–68): Below average – potential for improvement.
E (39–54): Poor – older buildings with outdated heating systems.
F (21–38): Very poor – inefficient, likely to need upgrades.
G (1–20): Extremely poor – may not meet legal rental requirements.
Why EPC Grades Matter:
Properties must meet minimum EPC standards to be rented or sold.
Landlords must achieve a minimum rating of E to legally lease their property.
A higher EPC grade can increase property value and attract buyers or tenants.
