How to pay less
- Check the EPC register first, as an existing certificate may still be valid
- Book an accredited EPC assessor directly rather than through an agent
- Make loft hatches, the boiler and meters easy to reach so the EPC survey is quick
Before you book
- Use the official register to check the assessor is accredited before you book the EPC
- Gather paperwork for insulation, windows and heating upgrades, which can improve the rating
- Landlords should check the rating meets the minimum standard for letting the property
- Scotland keeps its own EPC register, so check the right one for your home
BER / EPC Assessor cost: questions people ask
£60–£120 for a typical home, about £90 for a three- or four-bedroom house. A small flat costs the least; a large period home in London costs the most.
About 30 minutes to an hour on site. The certificate is usually lodged within a day or two.
An EPC is valid for ten years. You need one before you sell or let a home, and a buyer or tenant can check it on the register.
Upgrades such as loft insulation, a new boiler or low-energy lighting can lift the rating, so finish any work before booking the assessment.
It does not include the improvement work itself, a building survey or a check of the heating system's safety.
