Understanding the EPC Register
Access and verify your property’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) through the official EPC Register.
What is the EPC Register?
The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Register is the official database maintained by the UK government. It stores all EPCs for properties in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. This register allows property owners, buyers, tenants, and other stakeholders to access and verify the energy efficiency ratings of buildings.
Why is the EPC Register Important?
- Transparency: Provides public access to a property’s energy efficiency information.
- Compliance: Ensures that properties meet legal requirements for energy assessments.
- Informed Decisions: Helps buyers and tenants make energy-conscious choices.
How to Find Your EPC
To locate your property’s EPC:
- Visit the official EPC Register website: Find an energy certificate – GOV.UK
- Choose the type of property: domestic or non-domestic.
- Enter your property’s postcode or address.
- Select your property from the search results to view the EPC.
When is an EPC Required?
An EPC is legally required when:
- Selling a property.
- Renting out a property.
- Constructing a new building.
It’s essential to have a valid EPC before marketing your property.
Validity and Renewal
An EPC is valid for 10 years. If significant energy efficiency improvements are made to the property, it’s advisable to obtain a new EPC to reflect the changes.
