Do I Need an EPC?
Not sure whether you need a new Energy Performance Certificate? Answer a few simple questions before you book and pay. If you already have a valid EPC, you can still choose to get a new one.

Before you book
A quick check can save you time and money.
An EPC is usually valid for 10 years. You may already have a certificate you can use — or you may prefer an updated one after improving your home.
Check your current EPC
Find out whether your property already has a valid certificate using the free government register.
Choose an updated EPC
Even if your certificate is valid, you can request a new assessment after improvements or simply for peace of mind.
Book the right service
New homes awaiting their first EPC and certain unusual properties may need a different assessment. We'll help you check first.
