About EPC
EPC or Energy Performance Certificates are required when selling or letting your property in the UK.
Harpr Surveyors have been offering EPCs for a long time and completed over 10,000 certificates.
If you are renting your house or flat, you will need to achieve a grade E or above. The UK average EPC rating is a D and the average EPC score 60. There are a lot of properties that fall short of the required E rating for letting purposes. Check out our MEES Reports (Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard Reports) to help you improve your property.
Energy efficiency in domestic properties is key to reducing our carbon footprint. Improving your home can be a big factor to reducing your bills. With a simple visit to your property, we can have your certificate back to you within 24 hours, sometimes immediately before we’ve even left your home.
