Why Do New Builds Need an EPC?

When constructing or purchasing a newly built property, obtaining an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement in the UK. At Urgent EPC, we specialise in providing EPCs for new build homes across London, ensuring full compliance with building regulations and helping property developers, builders, and homeowners meet all statutory energy efficiency standards.

Newly constructed properties must undergo an SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) calculation. This is different from standard EPC assessments and requires data directly from architectural drawings and specifications. Once the build is completed, a certified On Construction Domestic Energy Assessor (OCDEA) must conduct the final EPC assessment before the building is occupied or sold.

What’s Included in a New Build EPC?

An EPC for a new build includes:

  • Predicted Energy Efficiency Rating (based on SAP calculation)

  • Environmental impact score

  • Energy-saving recommendations

  • Annual estimated energy usage

  • Heating, lighting, and hot water system efficiencies

If you’re a property developer or buying a newly built home in London, your solicitor or the building control authority will require the EPC before completion.
