Energy Performance Certificates in Nottingham
It’s a legal requirement to have an EPC done if you’re selling or letting a property. We handle the whole process quickly and without fuss.
What is an EPC and What Does Your Rating Mean?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) shows how energy efficient a property is, rated from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It’s based on a physical assessment of the property: its insulation, heating system, windows, lighting and more.
Alongside the rating, your EPC includes an estimate of energy costs and simple recommendations for improving efficiency.
When You're Legally Required to have an EPC
Selling a property
A valid EPC is required by law before a property goes on the market.
Letting a property
Landlords must provide a valid EPC to tenants before a new tenancy begins.
Accessing funding
Government-backed funding schemes require a valid EPC to check eligibility.
Renewing an expired EPC
EPCs are valid for 10 years. We can issue a new one when yours runs out.
EPCs for Landlords, Letting Agents and Home Sellers
Letting or managing a property?
EPC requirements for landlords are simple: a valid certificate must be in place before a new tenancy starts, and rental properties currently need a minimum rating of E. We work with landlords and letting agents across Nottingham and the Midlands, and are happy handling a single property or a whole portfolio.
If a property falls short of the minimum rating, we’ll explain exactly what’s holding it back and the most cost-effective way to bring it up.
Selling a home?
You need an EPC when selling a house, and it has to be arranged before the property is marketed. Estate agents across Nottingham book us directly because a same-day certificate means a listing can go live without waiting around.
Already got a certificate? EPCs last 10 years, so it’s worth checking before you book. If yours has expired, we’ll issue and register a new one the same day.

Common Questions about EPCs
An Energy Performance Certificate is valid for 10 years from the date it's issued, or until a newer one is registered for the property.
Yes. An EPC must be arranged before a property can be marketed for sale. If you book with us, we can usually carry out the assessment and register the certificate the same day, so your listing isn't held up.
Rental properties in England and Wales currently need a minimum EPC rating of E before a new tenancy can begin, and there are government proposals to raise that minimum over the coming years. If your property is close to the line, we'll tell you honestly and explain the most cost-effective improvements.
Every EPC is lodged on the government's official EPC register, which is free to search online using the property's address or postcode. When we carry out your assessment, we register the new certificate there on your behalf.
Most residential properties take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the size and layout. We'll give you a more accurate estimate when you book.
We'll explain what's affecting the rating and what could improve it. If you'd like a fuller picture of your options, our Retrofit Assessment service goes into more detail.
Pricing depends on the size and type of property. Get in touch with a few details about your property and we'll come back with an accurate price.
Someone needs to provide access to the property, but you don't need to stay for the whole appointment if that's more convenient.
