Energy Performance Certificate
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) from Landlord Sure provides a professional assessment of a property’s energy efficiency and helps identify how effectively the building uses energy. Our qualified domestic energy assessors inspect key features of the property, including insulation, heating systems, glazing, lighting, and other energy-related elements.
An energy performance certificate shows how energy efficient a property is. For practical ways to improve a property rating, read the advice from the Energy Saving Trust, then book your energy performance certificate with Landlord Sure.
Whether you’re a landlord, letting agent, property manager, homeowner, or property seller, our EPC service provides a clear energy rating and practical recommendations for improving the property’s efficiency. Following the assessment, you receive a digital EPC outlining the property’s energy performance, current rating, potential rating, and recommended energy-saving improvements.

Common Energy Efficiency Issues We Identify
At Landlord Sure, our Energy Performance Certificate service assesses the key factors that influence a property’s energy efficiency and overall EPC rating. Our qualified energy assessors inspect the property carefully to gather accurate information about its construction, heating systems, insulation, glazing, lighting, and other energy-related features.
During the assessment, we identify areas such as poor insulation, inefficient heating systems, older glazing, inadequate heating controls, inefficient lighting, and other features that may affect the property’s energy performance. The information gathered is used to produce an accurate EPC rating and identify potential improvements.
Following the assessment, your EPC provides a clear overview of the property’s current energy rating, potential rating, estimated energy performance, and recommended improvements. This gives landlords, homeowners, letting agents, and property managers useful information when considering energy-efficiency upgrades.

What Is an EPC Certificate?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) shows how energy efficient a property is, rated from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It also estimates energy costs and lists recommended improvements. You need a valid EPC before you sell or let a home or commercial building in England and Wales, and the rating must be shown in property adverts.

How to Get an EPC Certificate
- Book your assessment online or by phone, and tell us the property type and number of bedrooms.
- On-site visit: an accredited energy assessor records the walls, roof and floor insulation, windows, heating system, hot water, lighting and any renewables. Photos are taken as evidence.
- Certificate lodged: the EPC is produced and added to the national EPC register, and you receive a digital copy.
Having access to the loft and boiler, plus any paperwork for insulation, new windows or a new boiler, helps the assessor record the property accurately and can improve the rating.
How Long Is an EPC Valid For?
An EPC is valid for 10 years. You do not need a new one each time you let or sell, as long as the current certificate is still in date. However, if you have made improvements, such as new insulation or a new boiler, a new EPC may give a better rating. You can check whether a property already has a valid EPC on the government's Find an energy certificate service.
EPC Rules for Landlords
Under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), privately rented homes in England and Wales currently need an EPC rating of at least E, unless a valid exemption is registered. Landlords must give tenants a copy of the EPC at the start of a tenancy. The government has confirmed plans to raise the minimum to band C for rented homes by 2030. Read our guide, what is an EPC certificate, for the latest position and what it means for you.
How to Improve Your EPC Rating
- loft, cavity wall and floor insulation
- an efficient condensing boiler or a heat pump, with good heating controls
- double or secondary glazing
- a hot water cylinder jacket and insulated pipes
- low-energy LED lighting throughout
- solar panels or other renewable technology
Your EPC report lists the improvements that would make the biggest difference to your property, along with an indication of the possible new rating.
