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?
