Straightforward domestic EPC assessments for landlords, homeowners and property professionals. I inspect the property, record the information required for the energy assessment and lodge the completed certificate on the official register.
Domestic EPCs
An EPC records the energy performance of a home and gives it a rating from A to G. It also includes recommendations that may improve energy efficiency. EPCs are generally valid for 10 years unless replaced by a newer certificate.
Domestic EPCs for rental properties, including individual instructions and repeat work for managed portfolios.
An EPC is normally required when a home is marketed for sale. I can arrange the assessment directly with you or your estate agent.
If the existing EPC is over 10 years old, or there is no valid certificate on the register, a new assessment can be arranged.
If insulation, heating, glazing or other relevant features have changed, a new EPC can record the property in its current condition.
The assessment records the home's current energy features and the certificate includes recommendations for potential improvements.
For landlords and agents with several properties, appointments can be grouped where practical to make access and administration easier.
The Assessment
The assessment is visual and non-destructive. I record the features needed to calculate the property's energy performance using the approved methodology.
For an accurate assessment I need access to all rooms and relevant parts of the property, including the loft where safe and accessible, plus meters, heating controls and the boiler or hot-water system.
Where insulation or other energy-saving measures are hidden from view, suitable documentary or photographic evidence may be needed for them to be included.
The EPC reflects the property and evidence available at the time of assessment.
How It Works
Provide the address, property type and number of bedrooms. If there are unusual features such as renewables or a loft conversion, let me know when booking.
I visit the property and collect the measurements, photographs and evidence required for the domestic energy assessment.
Once the assessment is complete, the EPC is lodged on the official register and the certificate can be downloaded and shared.
From £70 for a straightforward 1–2 bedroom property. Larger homes and properties with additional complexity are priced before booking.
Pricing Guide
Standard domestic EPC pricing is based on property size and complexity. I confirm the price before booking so there are no surprises.
1–2 bed: from £70
2–3 bed house: from £90
3–4 bed house: from £110
Renewables and room-in-roof / loft-conversion complexity may carry an additional charge. Larger or unusual properties are quoted individually.

Frequently Asked Questions
A domestic EPC is generally valid for 10 years, unless a newer EPC is produced for the property.
In most cases an EPC is required when a property is marketed for sale or rent, subject to the exemptions set out in the regulations.
It depends on the size and complexity of the property. I can give you an indication when you send the property details.
Where a loft is present and safely accessible, access is normally important because insulation and roof construction can affect the assessment.
The EPC includes standard improvement recommendations. If you need more detailed modelling of potential improvements before commissioning a new EPC, ask about a separate pre-assessment modelling service.
