What is a Domestic EPC?
A Domestic Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is an official UK government document that rates a residential property’s energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It shows the property’s current and potential energy efficiency, estimated energy costs, and recommendations for improvement.
Your EPC includes
- Current energy efficiency rating (A–G)
- Potential rating if recommended improvements are made
- Estimated annual energy costs
- CO₂ emissions estimate
- Specific recommendations to improve efficiency
- Estimated cost and savings for each recommendation
EPCs are legally required when
- Selling a residential property
- Renting a property to a new tenant
- Marketing a property for sale or rent
- Completing major renovations that change energy performance
