An Energy Performance Certificate provides an independent assessment of a property’s energy efficiency.
The certificate gives the property a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and includes recommendations that may help reduce energy bills and improve the property’s energy performance.
An EPC is required for most properties that are:
- Being sold
- Being rented out
- Being marketed for sale
- Being marketed for rent
- Subject to certain landlord compliance requirements
EPCs remain valid for 10 years unless significant alterations are made to the property.

What Happens During an EPC Assessment?
Many homeowners and landlords are surprised at how straightforward the process is.
The assessment is primarily visual and normally takes between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the size and complexity of the property.
During the visit the assessor may record information relating to:
- Property age and construction type
- Wall construction
- Loft insulation
- Heating system
- Hot water system
- Windows and glazing
- Low energy lighting
- Renewable energy installations
- Floor construction where visible
No drilling or damage is required.
The assessor simply gathers information needed to produce the Energy Performance Certificate.
How Long Does It Take To Receive My EPC?
In most cases the assessment is completed on site and the EPC is produced shortly afterwards.
Many clients receive their certificate within 24 to 48 hours.
Once completed, the certificate is lodged on the national EPC register and can be accessed online.
Who Needs an EPC?
Homeowners
If you are selling your property, you will normally require a valid EPC before marketing can begin.
Estate agents will often request confirmation that an EPC has been commissioned before listing the property.
Landlords
Landlords must normally have a valid EPC before letting a property.
Current regulations require most rental properties to achieve a minimum EPC rating of E unless a valid exemption applies.
Failure to comply can result in enforcement action and financial penalties.
Letting Agents
Letting agents frequently arrange EPCs on behalf of landlords when preparing properties for new tenants.
Property Investors
Investors purchasing rental properties often use EPC ratings to estimate future improvement costs and assess compliance requirements.
How Can I Improve My EPC Rating?
Many properties can improve their EPC score through relatively simple measures.
Common improvements include:
- Increasing loft insulation
- Installing energy efficient lighting
- Upgrading older boilers
- Improving heating controls
- Installing double glazing where appropriate
- Insulating hot water cylinders
- Improving wall insulation
The EPC will contain recommendations specific to the property being assessed.

Landlords – EPCs Are Only Part Of Your Legal Responsibilities
Many landlords are aware that they require an EPC before renting a property.
However, EPC compliance is only one part of a landlord’s legal responsibilities.
Landlords also have a legal duty to assess and control the risk from Legionella bacteria within their rental properties.
Many property owners discover this requirement only when arranging an EPC, preparing for a new tenancy, or reviewing their compliance obligations.
If you own or manage rental property in Doncaster, learn more about your Legionella risk assessment responsibilities.
