Certificate Validity
Domestic EPC Services.
A Domestic EPC is legally required whenever a residential property is built, sold, or rented out in the UK.
Legal Compliance
Mandatory documentation for estate agents, landlords, and solicitors.
MEES Standards
Ensures your rental property meets the minimum Grade E requirement under current MEES regulations.
10-Year Validity
Lasts for a decade unless significant structural modifications are made before that period expires.
Green Mortgages
A high energy efficiency score can unlock preferential lending rates from green mortgage providers.
Residential Properties We Survey
Single Dwellings
Houses, flats, and bungalows being sold or let. Required before the property is marketed.
New-Build Homes
SAP assessments converted into final On-Construction EPCs at Building Control handover. Our SAP calculations service includes the EPC as standard.
HMOs
Houses in Multiple Occupation requiring building-level certification. We produce the EPC for the whole building.
Commercial EPC Services.
Non-domestic buildings require a Commercial EPC during construction, sale, or lease. Our SBEM calculations service covers all non-domestic energy modelling, with the EPC included as part of the process.
Transaction Compliance
Required before marketing any commercial premises for sale or lease. Without a valid EPC, the transaction cannot proceed lawfully.
Penalty Mitigation
Avoid severe financial penalties for non-compliance. Failing to produce an EPC when required can result in significant enforcement action.
Cost Reduction
Identifies clear pathways to lower volatile business utility bills. The recommendation report sets out specific improvements with their likely impact on energy costs.
Asset Value
Enhances building value by demonstrating high environmental performance to potential buyers, tenants, and investors.
The EPC Assessment Process.
Our qualified energy assessors conduct non-invasive physical surveys to evaluate the thermal and mechanical efficiency of your asset across three structured stages.
Site Inspection
-
Building Envelope
Measuring dimensions and identifying construction materials — walls, roofs, and floors.
-
Services Audit
Inspecting heating systems, cooling plants, controls, and hot water configurations.
-
Lighting Check
Evaluating the percentage of low-energy or LED lighting installed.
Data Modelling
-
Software Calculations
Data entered into government-approved software: RdSAP for domestic properties, SBEM for commercial.
-
Rating Generation
Properties graded on an A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) scale for residential; 0–100 for commercial.
Lodgement & Reporting
-
Central Registry
The certificate is officially uploaded to the government EPC register.
-

Cost-effective recommendations generated to improve the rating, included with every certificate.

EPC questions.
Everything you need to know about Energy Performance Certificates — when you need one, how the rating is calculated, what MEES means for landlords, and how new-build EPCs work.
Still Got a Question? Ask Us What is an Energy Performance Certificate?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates the energy efficiency of a building. Residential properties are rated on an A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) scale. Commercial properties are rated 0 to 100 using a different methodology. Every EPC includes a recommendation report identifying cost-effective improvements to raise the rating.
When do I need an EPC?
A Domestic EPC is legally required whenever a residential property is built, sold, or rented out. A Commercial EPC is required during the construction, sale, or lease of any non-domestic building. You must have a valid EPC in place before marketing a property — without one, estate agents, solicitors, and landlords cannot proceed lawfully.
What is the difference between a Domestic and a Commercial EPC?
A Domestic EPC covers individual residential dwellings — houses, flats, bungalows, HMOs, and new-build homes. It uses the RdSAP methodology and produces an A–G rating. A Commercial EPC covers non-domestic buildings such as offices, retail units, industrial premises, and other business properties. It uses the SBEM methodology and produces a 0–100 rating. We produce both types from the same team.
How long is an EPC valid for?
An EPC is valid for 10 years, unless significant structural modifications are made to the property before that period expires. If works materially affect the energy performance of the building — such as a major extension, new heating system, or insulation upgrade — a new EPC should be obtained to reflect the as-built condition.
What is MEES and what is the minimum EPC rating for a rental property?
MEES stands for Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards. Under current regulations, residential rental properties in England and Wales must achieve at least an EPC rating of E before a new tenancy can be granted. Properties rated F or G cannot lawfully be let. Similar requirements apply to commercial lettings. It is worth keeping an eye on proposed future tightening of MEES standards, which may raise the minimum threshold for residential rentals.
How does a new-build SAP assessment become an EPC?
For new residential dwellings, a SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) calculation is carried out at design stage to demonstrate compliance with Part L of the Building Regulations. Once construction is complete, an As-Built SAP assessment is finalised, and this is then used to generate the On-Construction EPC, which is lodged on the government register and required for Building Control sign-off. Our SAP service includes the EPC as standard.
How is the EPC rating calculated?
For domestic properties, data gathered during the site inspection — building dimensions, construction materials, heating system type, hot water configuration, and lighting — is entered into government-approved RdSAP software. For non-domestic properties, SBEM software is used. The software models the energy demand of the building and generates the rating. For new builds, design data from the SAP or SBEM calculation feeds directly into the EPC.
How quickly can I get my EPC?
We aim for a fast-track turnaround to keep property transactions moving. Once the site inspection has been completed and all relevant data has been collected, the certificate is typically processed and lodged on the government EPC register promptly. For time-sensitive sales or lease completions, let us know your deadline at the point of enquiry and we will do our best to prioritise.
How much does an EPC cost?
EPC pricing is quoted on request, based on property type, size, and whether the assessment is standalone or forms part of a broader SAP or SBEM package. Volume discounts are available for portfolios or multiple properties. Contact us or use the quote form for a fixed-fee price.
