EPC ratings range from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). Rating A properties typically cost under £500/year to heat, while G-rated properties can cost over £3,500/year. Each rating band represents a score range: A (92-100), B (81-91), C (69-80), D (55-68), E (39-54), F (21-38), G (1-20). The rating affects property value, energy bills, and whether a property can be legally rented. (Source: GOV.UK EPC Register)

How long is an EPC valid for?

Accepted Answer

An EPC is valid for 10 years from the date it was issued. You need a valid EPC when selling or renting a property. If your property has had significant energy improvements since the last assessment, it may be worth getting a new EPC to reflect the better rating, even if the current one is still valid.
