Frequently Asked Questions
How long is an EPC valid for?
An Energy Performance Certificate is valid for 10 years from the date of issue. You can use the same EPC for multiple tenancies within that period, provided no major energy efficiency improvements have been made to the property.
Do I need an EPC before I can let my property?
Yes. Under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), your property must achieve at least an E rating before it can be legally let. You must have a valid EPC available for prospective tenants to view.
What happens if my property rates below E?
If your property scores F or G, you cannot legally grant a new tenancy. You’ll need to make energy efficiency improvements (such as loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, or boiler upgrades) to bring the rating up to at least E before letting.
How long does the assessment take?
A standard domestic EPC assessment takes 30–45 minutes. The assessor will inspect the property’s heating system, insulation, windows, and lighting, and the certificate is typically lodged within approximately 72 working hours, with the majority sent through within 24–48.
