Domestic EPC in Luton

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates how energy efficient a home is, from A (best) to G (worst). It also shows what the home costs to heat and light, and lists upgrades that would lower the bills.

An EPC lasts 10 years. Buyers and tenants can look up any home's EPC online, so a better rating can help your listing stand out.

You need an EPC when you sell a home, let it to a new tenant or build a new one. Estate agents cannot market the property without one.

Landlords also have a minimum to meet. A rented home must have an EPC rating of E or above. If yours is F or G, you cannot start a new tenancy until it is improved, unless the property has a registered exemption.

Our assessor walks through the home and takes photos and measurements. They check the loft and wall insulation, windows, boiler and heating controls, hot water and lighting.

Most homes take under an hour. You do not need to be there if someone can let us in, and we can collect keys from your letting agent.

Your EPC report lists the changes that would make the biggest difference. In older Luton terraces the usual wins are loft insulation, a modern boiler with good controls, and LED lighting.

Planning work before you sell or let? Book your EPC after the upgrades are done, so the new rating shows the improvements.
