An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a report that assesses the energy efficiency of a property and recommends specific ways in which the efficiency of your property could be improved. If you do not have a copy of an EPC for your property, you may be able to access a copy online, if one already exists.

A EPC is performed by a Qualified and Accredited energy assessor who visits the property, examines key items such as Cavity wall, floor and loft insulation, domestic boiler, hot water tank, radiators, heating controls and windows for double glazing.

It is against the law to advertise a property for rent without an EPC.
