Find out what you need to know about getting an EPC report for your property.
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) provide tenants and potential buyers with information about the energy use and typical energy costs of a property. The EPC also gives an indication of the energy efficiency and recommends ways to reduce energy use and save money.
The EPC survey of the property takes between 45 minutes and an hour to complete and is valid for ten years.
EPCs are required whenever a building is to be built, sold or rented in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Failure to produce an EPC upon request could result in a fine, and the EPC must be commissioned before the property is put on the market to sell or rent.
You will need a Domestic Energy Assessor to produce an EPC for the property you are selling or renting. They will assess your property and produce the certificate. You can find an EPC provider in your area and receive an instant EPC quote through reallymoving.com. Check out our guide for a more detailed look at getting an EPC.
EPCs vary and can range from £60-£120 (inc. VAT), so to find the best price for your certificate, find a quote online at reallymoving from accredited EPC Assessors. For more information on EPC costs, take a look at our useful guide on the cost of an Energy Performance Certificate.

During the EPC survey, the assessor will look at the structure and layout of the property as well as the energy features such as boilers, insulation and windows. So they will need access to anywhere on the property where these features are found.
The EPC survey of the property takes between 45 minutes and an hour to complete and is valid for ten years.
The buildings exempt from getting an EPC are listed, and temporary buildings, as well as those whose primary use is a place of worship such as churches and mosques. If the building has multiple uses, such as a nursery and a church hall, it will need an EPC.
It is the responsibility of the person selling or renting the property to get an EPC carried out, which they can supply to the buyer or tenant.
An EPC must be renewed every 10 years.
