Are you selling, renting out, or letting a property in Aylesbury or the wider Vale of Aylesbury? You’ll need a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) before you can market it. We provide fast, accredited EPC assessments across Aylesbury and the surrounding Buckinghamshire area. We offer same-week appointments.
An EPC rates a property’s energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The law requires one whenever you sell, rent, or build a property.
An EPC is a document that rates a building’s energy efficiency from A to G. It shows the property’s estimated energy consumption and carbon emissions. It also gives you practical recommendations for improvement. Most residential and commercial properties in Aylesbury need one when built, sold, or let.
For landlords, the EPC does more than tick a legal box. It gives prospective tenants a clear, comparable picture of their likely energy bills. That’s an increasingly important factor when renters compare similar properties.
Under England and Wales law, you must provide an EPC to any prospective buyer or tenant before a sale or letting completes. This includes newly built homes at the point of construction. Every commercial and residential property marketed for sale or rent needs an assessment and a rating on the A–G scale. The certificate also shows what rating you could realistically achieve with further improvements.
You must have an EPC in place within 14 days of first advertising a property for sale or rent, or before a new tenant moves in. Marketing a property without a valid EPC risks a fine of up to 12.5% of the property’s rateable value. It can also stop landlords from evicting a tenant while the property stays non-compliant. The seller, the landlord, and their agent all share responsibility for compliance.
Landlords must make sure an EPC is available to prospective tenants from the very first enquiry, not just at the point of signing. Only an accredited energy assessor can issue an EPC. We arrange this quickly and cost-effectively for landlords across Aylesbury.
Domestic EPC costs in Aylesbury typically start from £60–£120 including VAT. The exact price depends on the size and type of the property.
An EPC lasts 10 years. That changes if the property undergoes work that affects its energy performance — a new heating system, replacement windows, added wall or loft insulation, a loft conversion, or an extension. Any of these can trigger the need for a new assessment sooner.
An EPC recommends energy-saving measures like better insulation, a more efficient heating system, or renewable energy sources. Investing in these can meaningfully cut your ongoing energy bills. It also makes a property more comfortable and more attractive to buyers or tenants.
An accredited energy assessor visits your property in person to gather the details needed for the certificate. This includes photographic evidence for audit purposes. The assessor checks wall insulation, windows, the boiler and heating system, loft and floor insulation where accessible, and the electric and gas meters. They also assess heat loss through the walls.
