What is an EPC Rating?

First introduced in 2007, an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating is used in England and Wales to judge a property's energy efficiency on a scale of A-G, with A being the most efficient and G the least.

A low EPC rating can result in lower energy bills as well as reducing your carbon footprint, which makes the property more attractive to potential tenants and buyers.

Landlords are responsible for providing tenants with an EPC rating and have to get a new rating every 10 years.
