When selling a home in the UK, one of the first questions many homeowners ask is: “Do I really need an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?”
A valid EPC is a legal requirement when selling or renting your property. Beyond compliance, it’s a useful snapshot of your home’s energy efficiency — highlighting potential improvements that can lower your bills, boost your property’s value, and give prospective buyers insight into long-term running costs.
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates your property’s efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and includes recommendations for improvement.
