Domestic Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)

Domestic EPCs in Scotland

Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) certify the energy efficiency of a property using a rating system from A to G, with A being the most efficient. A Domestic EPC is derived from standard information about the energy efficiency levels and carbon emissions of a building compared to a benchmark. Our domestic EPCs come with a recommendation report outlining improvements to upgrade the energy rating. These certificates are valid for 10 years or until a newer version is produced.

Who Needs a Domestic EPC?

If you’re planning to sell, rent, or build a domestic property, you need a Domestic EPC. This applies to:

  • Homeowners selling their property.
  • Landlords renting out their property.
  • Builders constructing new homes.

When is a Domestic EPC Required?

You must provide an EPC to a prospective tenant or buyer no later than the actual viewing and include it with any other written information. Failing to provide an EPC can result in penalties. If you are selling your home, an EPC must be ordered as soon as the property goes on the market, and estate agents must ensure it is uploaded within 28 days of marketing.

On Construction or “New Build” EPC

When constructing a new build or converting a property, a different EPC is required to complete the Building Regulations—this is known as a SAP EPC. The assessment is based on the architect’s plans and does not require a site visit. Scot EPC offers this service for a set fee, ensuring your new build is compliant and energy-efficient from the start.

Benefits of Having an EPC

  • Legal Compliance: Avoid fines and penalties by meeting legal requirements.
  • Informed Buyers and Tenants: Provide essential information about the property’s energy efficiency.
  • Improved Property Value: Enhance the appeal and value of your property with a high energy efficiency rating.
  • Energy Savings: Implement recommendations from the EPC to reduce energy use and save on utility bills.
