EPC assessments for new builds, refurbishments, and rental portfolios across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire & Hertfordshire.
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates the energy efficiency of a building on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It provides an indication of heating and running costs, along with recommendations for improving energy performance.
EPCs have been a legal requirement in England and Wales since 2008 for properties being sold, let, or constructed. The certificate is valid for 10 years, but an updated assessment may be needed if significant energy improvements have been carried out or if the current rating falls below MEES thresholds.
An EPC is required for all newly constructed buildings before occupation. For developers, we can handle EPCs across multi-unit developments with consistent turnaround.
Rental properties must meet a minimum E rating under current MEES regulations, with a proposed tightening to C by 2030. We help contractors and portfolio managers stay ahead of compliance.
A valid EPC must be available before marketing a property for sale. We work to your conveyancing timeline to avoid delays.
Commercial EPCs are required when selling or letting commercial or industrial properties. Display Energy Certificates may also be needed for public buildings.
Contact us with your project details - number of units, property types, and timeline. We will provide a quote and schedule site visits around your programme.
We visit the property and carry out a detailed assessment. This typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on the property size and complexity.
We process the data, generate the EPC, and lodge it on the national register. You receive your certificate typically within 48 hours.
We can walk your team through the recommendations and advise on which improvements would be most cost-effective for the specific property type.
EPC pricing depends on the size and type of property. For a standard domestic EPC in our service area, expect costs to start from around 60-100 GBP for a typical house or flat. Larger or more complex properties may be higher.
Commercial EPCs are priced based on floor area and building complexity. For multi-unit developments, we offer volume pricing. Contact us with your project details for a specific quote.
An EPC is valid for 10 years from the date of issue. However, if significant energy improvements have been made, a new assessment can reflect the improved rating - which may be important for MEES compliance.
A low rating does not prevent a sale, but rental properties must meet a minimum E rating under MEES. We provide clear recommendations for improving the rating cost-effectively, which is useful for contractors planning refurbishment work.
Yes. We regularly work with developers on multi-unit projects. We can coordinate site visits across multiple plots and deliver all certificates to your timeline. Volume pricing is available.
Some buildings are exempt, including listed buildings where compliance would unacceptably alter the character, places of worship, temporary buildings used for less than 2 years, and some industrial sites. Contact us if you are unsure whether a property is exempt.
