Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) shows the energy efficiency rating of a property from A to G. It includes information about energy usage, estimated running costs, and recommendations to improve efficiency.
Do I need an EPC to sell or rent my property?
Yes. In the UK, an EPC is legally required before marketing a residential or commercial property for sale or rent.
How long is an EPC valid for?
An EPC certificate is valid for 10 years unless significant energy-related improvements have been made to the property.

What types of properties do you assess?
We provide EPCs for houses, flats, apartments, offices, retail units, warehouses, industrial buildings and other commercial premises.
What happens during an EPC assessment?
One of our qualified assessors will inspect the property, reviewing factors such as insulation, heating systems, windows, lighting and overall energy efficiency before producing the certificate.
Can you provide commercial EPCs?
Yes. We specialise in EPCs for commercial buildings, including offices, shops, industrial units and mixed-use properties.
What are MEES regulations?
Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) are UK regulations requiring rented commercial properties to meet minimum EPC ratings before they can legally be let.
Can you help improve my EPC rating?
Yes. We provide recommendations on improving your property’s energy efficiency, which may help reduce energy bills and increase property value.
Do you provide floor plans?
Yes. Alongside EPCs, we offer detailed and accurate floor plans for residential and commercial properties, ideal for estate agents, landlords and property sales.
