What is an EPC certificate?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates the energy efficiency of a property from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It is legally required when selling or renting a property in England or Wales.

How much does an EPC cost in Consett or Stanley?

EPC prices in Consett and Stanley typically start from £59, depending on property size and type. We offer fixed pricing with no middleman fees.

How long does an EPC last?

An EPC is valid for 10 years from the date it is issued and is stored on the government's official EPC Register.

How long does an EPC appointment take?

A typical EPC survey takes around 30 to 45 minutes for an average-sized domestic property. The certificate is usually emailed within 48 hours.

Can I improve my EPC rating?

Yes. Common improvements include loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, double glazing, modern heating systems, and low-energy lighting. We offer remote EPC modelling to predict your rating after improvements.

Do rental properties in County Durham need a minimum EPC rating?

Yes. All privately rented homes must have an EPC rating of E or better. From 2030, all rentals are expected to require a minimum EPC rating of C.

Have you Been Asked to Book an EPC Through a Third Party?

Some Estate Agents, Solicitors or National companies will add significant markups onto an EPC price, often doubling the costs and pocketing the extra. If these companies offer to source your EPC as part of managing your property or transaction, I advise you to politely decline the offer and find your own EPC assessor. My price remains consistent and I guarantee any savings will be passed onto you.

Why Use Me

I was born and raised in Derwentside and have worked for numerous clients and provided Energy Performance Certificates and other services for both sales and rental properties. I am still locally based which also means that no travel costs are added to the price of your EPC.

EPC Prices

Numerous factors can affect the cost of an EPC such as travel time and fuel costs but I guarantee that I will give you my best price and the cost you are quoted is the cost you will pay.
