Energy Performance Certificates – Why?
Environmental Benefits
Homes improved to at least an EPC band C result in a 1.6-tonne reduction in CO₂ emissions per year, per home. Energy efficiency has a direct impact on our planet. Simple things like using energy efficient light bulbs and lagging in your loft will improve your EPC score, save money and reduce your home’s CO₂ emissions.
Wasted Energy
Billions of pounds are wasted due to energy loss caused by inefficient insulation which causes higher consumption of oil, gas and electricity.
33% of homes inefficient, below D rating
England and Wales have 19 million homes rated lower than EPC rating D. Those homes face increasing fuel increases and the costs of energy loss can be up to £750 per year. D rating is the minimum required to meet UK government targets for carbon reduction by 2035.
UK Government Goal
The UK government has set a goal to have all houses at EPC band C or better by 2035. Rented homes must meet this by 2030. The estimated cost to improve homes to C rating is between £35 and £65 billion.
Savings £££
Save between £300 – £750 saving per year by moving your property to C level. A low EPC rating leads to higher fuel bills and bad ratings affect saleability and can affect mortgage eligibility.
New Homes
Homes from 2012 are constructed to have at least an Energy Performance Certificate at band C. With a C rating there are government incentives and benefits for further improvements and we have helped clients secure grants.
Tenant and Home Owner Benefits
Enhance your property value
A better Energy Performance Certificate rating can increase your a property’s market value and attract potential buyers or tenants. Ensure you renew your Energy Performance Certificate before you let.
Reduce Environmental Impact
Improving energy efficiency contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing your carbon footprint. The energy performance certificate will inform you of the energy saving potential and what you can implement to improve energy efficiency.
Reduction of Energy Bills
An energy-efficient home consumes less power for heating, cooling, and lighting, leading to reduced energy bills for the tenant, increasing marketability and potential rental income. Tenants are less likely to select inefficient homes.
Government Incentives
Homes with EPC rating of A, B and C are ineligible for government incentives and grants, which are aimed at homes that already meet insulation and efficiency criteria.
Benefits for Landlords
Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard
Landlords of domestic private rented properties in England and Wales are required to meet the 2018 Minimum Level of Energy Efficiency Standard (MEES). The legal minimum Energy Performance Certificate rating is band E.
EPC Regulations

Improve low rated homes
If your property falls under those tenancy categories and has an EPC rating of F or G, it is vital that you improve the energy efficiency of the property. we can help identify the changes needed.
Continued Letting
Landlords are prohibited from letting or continuing to let properties subject to MEES regulations if the property has an EPC rating below E unless they have a registered exemption.
