What a domestic EPC is and when it is required
A domestic Energy Performance Certificate shows how energy efficient a home is on a scale from A to G, along with an estimate of running costs and a list of recommended improvements. It is produced by an accredited domestic energy assessor after a visit to the property, and lodged on the national register.
You need a valid EPC when you sell a home, when you let it to a new tenant, and when a new home is built. An EPC is valid for 10 years, so you may already have one; you can check on the gov.uk register before booking.
What sellers, landlords and homeowners each need
Sellers
Your estate agent needs a valid EPC to market the property. Booking early avoids delays to your listing, and the recommendations can be useful to buyers.
Landlords
You must provide tenants with a valid EPC, and the property must meet the minimum rating for lettings unless an exemption is registered [VERIFY AGAINST GOV.UK]. See our guide to EPCs for landlords for the detail.
Homeowners
Even if you are not selling or letting, an up-to-date EPC is a sensible way to see where your home loses energy and which improvements are likely to help most.

What the assessor looks at, and how to prepare
The assessor measures the property and records the walls, roof, floors, windows, heating, hot water, lighting and any renewable technology. They need access to every room, the loft hatch if there is one, and the boiler.
- Clear access to the loft hatch and boiler cupboard.
- Any paperwork for windows (FENSA or similar), cavity wall or loft insulation, and a new boiler.
- Approximate build dates for extensions and loft conversions.
- Details of solar panels, heat pumps or other renewable systems.
