What is an EPC rating?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates a property's energy efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The rating is based on factors including insulation, heating systems, windows, and lighting.

EPCs are legally required when selling or renting a property in the UK. They are valid for 10 years and include recommendations for improving energy efficiency, which can reduce energy bills and carbon emissions.

Properties rated A-C are considered energy efficient, while D is the national average. Properties rated E-G may have higher energy costs and could face rental restrictions under MEES regulations.
