Energy Performance Certificate - EPC

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement when you sell or let most residential properties in the UK, and it provides an energy efficiency rating together with practical recommendations to improve the home. TradeSupermarket helps you find qualified EPC assessors who can inspect your property, produce the certificate, and ensure it is properly lodged on the national EPC register so it can be verified by buyers, tenants and letting agents. A professional EPC assessment typically involves a site visit to collect key information about the building fabric and services, such as insulation levels, glazing type, heating and hot water systems, lighting, and any low or zero carbon technologies. The assessor uses approved methodology to generate the rating and recommendation report. Choosing an experienced assessor matters because correct data capture reduces the risk of errors, delays, and unnecessary re-visits. Whether you are a landlord checking compliance for a new tenancy, a homeowner preparing for a sale, or a managing agent handling multiple properties, using TradeSupermarket makes it straightforward to compare local professionals. Listings are designed to help you review credentials, typical turnaround times, and customer feedback before you request a quote. For peace of mind, always use an accredited Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) for domestic EPCs and confirm they hold suitable public liability insurance. If your property is listed, in a conservation area, or has unusual construction (for example, solid walls, thatch, or mixed-use spaces), choosing a specialist who is used to non-standard properties can help the assessment run smoothly and keep your EPC defensible if queried.
