How to Check a Property’s EPC Rating

Find the certificate

Search the official EPC register using the address. Confirm you are looking at the current certificate for the right flat or house.

Read the headline band

The A–G band summarises modelled performance. It is not a warranty of comfort or bills, but it frames likely running costs and improvement options.

Recommendations section

Typical EPCs list costed measures. Use them to plan upgrades and conversations with installers; your surveyor may still find defects the EPC does not cover.

Selling and letting

Sellers need a valid EPC before marketing in most cases. Landlords must also consider MEES rules when letting.
