EPCs are required for all buildings when they are constructed, sold or let. They provide an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
EPC ratings are a measure of a building's energy efficiency, with A being the most efficient and G being the least. A higher rating can increase your property's value.
The UK building regulations require new buildings to meet minimum energy performance standards. EPCs are used to assess and certify the energy performance of buildings.
EPC ratings can affect the saleability and rentability of your property. Improving your EPC rating can also reduce your energy bills and carbon footprint.
