What Is an Energy Performance Certificate?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) measures the energy efficiency of a property using a rating scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
The certificate includes:
- the property’s energy efficiency rating
- estimated energy costs
- environmental impact information
- recommendations for improving efficiency
EPCs are required when a property is sold, rented, or newly constructed, and the certificate must be available before the property is marketed.
Certificates remain valid for 10 years.

What Happens During an EPC Assessment?
During an EPC survey, the assessor collects information about the property’s construction and energy systems.
This typically includes inspection of:
- wall construction and insulation
- loft insulation
- windows and glazing
- heating system and controls
- hot water system
- fixed lighting
- renewable technologies if present
This information is entered into government-approved software which calculates the energy efficiency rating and generates the EPC certificate.
Most EPC surveys take 30–45 minutes, depending on the size of the property.
EPCs for Wymondham Housing Stock
Because Wymondham contains properties built across many decades, EPC ratings can vary significantly between homes.
Factors affecting EPC ratings include:
- insulation levels
- heating system efficiency
- glazing types
- extensions and alterations
- renewable energy systems
Even neighbouring properties can have different EPC ratings depending on these factors.
Landlords, EPCs & Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES)
Landlords must ensure rental properties comply with Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES).
In most cases this means rental properties must achieve an E rating or higher on their EPC.
Failure to comply may restrict the ability to legally let the property.
We can provide EPC assessments, improvement advice, and reassessments following energy-efficiency upgrades.
