EPC lookup FAQ

How do I look up an EPC by postcode?

Use the form above. We search the open EPC register for England and Wales and list matching certificates with rating band and expiry.

What is MEES for private rented properties?

Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards generally require at least Band E for private rentals in England and Wales, unless a valid exemption applies.

How long is an Energy Performance Certificate valid?

Typically 10 years from the date it was lodged. Always check the expiry date before selling or letting.

Does a higher EPC band mean lower bills?

Higher bands usually mean better modelled energy efficiency (insulation, glazing, heating). Actual bills still depend on occupancy and tariffs — treat the EPC as a guide, not a guarantee.

Data from the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government open EPC register (England & Wales). Expiry is typically 10 years from registration. Always verify before letting or selling.
