Need an EPC for a home in Watford? Energy Smart arranges domestic assessments in Watford and nearby Hertfordshire. An EPC is generally needed when a home is marketed for sale or rent, unless an exception applies.
We have completed over 14,000 EPCs since 2014. Book online or call 0800 048 7734 to discuss the property and access arrangements. For commercial premises, contact us for a separate quote.
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) records a property’s energy rating at the time of assessment, from A to G. A is the most energy efficient rating.
The certificate includes estimated energy costs and recommendations for improvements. Before booking a Watford assessment, check the government EPC register for a certificate at the correct address. An EPC normally lasts 10 years unless replaced by a newer certificate.
For domestic private rentals covered by MEES, the current minimum is EPC E unless a valid exemption applies. If your property is rated F or G, discuss the improvement recommendations and applicable exemption rules before letting. Energy Smart also offers special MEES reports.
An accredited Domestic Energy Assessor visits the home to record its dimensions, construction, heating, insulation, glazing and lighting. The information is then entered into approved software to produce and lodge the certificate.
How much does an EPC Cost?
Standard domestic EPC prices in Watford are £79 for up to three bedrooms, £89 for four bedrooms and £99 for five bedrooms. The express option adds £10. A five-bedroom express EPC therefore costs £109.
For six or more bedrooms, call 0800 048 7734 for a quote. Commercial EPCs are quoted separately.
What's involved during an EPC visit?
The assessor measures the property and records its construction, lighting, heating, glazing and insulation. A typical domestic visit takes around 30 minutes, depending on the property’s size and complexity.
After the visit, the assessor enters the information into approved software to produce and lodge the EPC. Keep relevant rooms accessible and have any evidence of insulation or improvements ready.
How long is an EPC valid for?
Once the EPC has been registered on the government register, it is valid for 10 years.
What is the minimum EPC rating for rental properties?
For domestic private rented properties covered by MEES, the current minimum is EPC E unless a valid exemption applies. Properties rated F or G must be improved to at least E or have a valid registered exemption before they can be let under these rules.
Energy Smart offers special MEES reports to help landlords understand the property’s rating and improvement options. Check the current government guidance for the rules that apply to your property.
Do I need an EPC?
An EPC is generally required when a property is marketed for sale or rent, unless an exception applies. The seller or landlord must make a valid certificate available to prospective buyers or tenants.
Before booking, check the government EPC register for the correct address. For a remortgage, ask your lender whether it requires an EPC.
Commercial EPC
For an office, shop or other non-domestic property in Watford, contact Energy Smart about a Commercial EPC assessment. An EPC is generally required when a commercial property is sold or rented, unless an exemption applies.
Commercial EPC prices start from £198. The building’s size, layout and services affect the quote. Call 0800 048 7734 with the address, approximate floor area and any available plans.
