What Is an EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) provides information on how energy-efficient a building is. The certificate includes two ratings – one for energy efficiency and one for environmental impact – which is represented on a scale from A (very efficient) to G (inefficient). The certificate also includes recommendations on how to improve the building’s energy efficiency.

The purpose of an EPC is to help buyers or tenants make informed decisions about the energy performance of their property. It also allows them to compare different properties so that they can make more informed decisions when buying or renting a home. Additionally, it helps homeowners and landlords understand their legal obligations under government regulations regarding energy efficiency.

Why Do Homeowners and Landlords in Golborne Need One?

In Golborne, homeowners and landlords must adhere to certain government regulations regarding energy efficiency in buildings. These regulations require all properties to have an EPC before they can be rented or sold. Additionally, it is important for homeowners and landlords to obtain an EPC so that they can identify any potential problems with their building’s energy performance before they attempt to rent or sell it. Obtaining an EPC can also help them save money on their energy bills by providing them with recommendations on how to improve the building’s energy performance.

Benefits of Having an EPC

Having an up-to-date EPC comes with numerous benefits for both landlords and tenants alike. For landlords, it allows them to demonstrate their commitment to energy efficiency standards by providing tenants with accurate information about their building’s energy performance rating. Tenants will appreciate having access to this information so they can make informed decisions before signing a tenancy agreement. Additionally, having an up-to-date EPC may save money on utility bills over time by helping tenants identify areas where they can reduce their use of electricity or gas. Finally, having an EPC may even increase the value of a property if potential buyers understand how efficient it is compared to other comparable properties on the market.

You can also check the EPC Register to see the current rating and expiry date for a Golborne property.

EPC data for Golborne

Figures below are for Wigan, the local authority covering Golborne, from the Energy Performance of Buildings Register to 2026 Q2.

5,804EPCs reach their 10-year expiry in the next 12 months
Band CThe most common rating, on 53% of certificates
45%Rated D or below, against 46% nationally
£853Average estimated heating cost a year

That expiry count is certificates lodged ten years ago and now coming up for renewal. Some of those homes have already been re-certified since, which authority-level data cannot show, so treat it as the ceiling rather than a to-do list.

How Wigan rates

Share of the 32,077 certificates lodged in the five years to 2026 Q2. This is the certificates lodged, not a survey of every home in the area.

What gets assessed around here

73% of the certificates lodged here are for houses. The average floor area is 79.3m², roughly 6m² smaller than the England and Wales average. Estimated heating costs average £853 a year, £86 a year below the national figure. 33% of certificates were lodged for rented homes.

Radon in Golborne

Golborne sits in a radon Affected Area. The UKHSA and British Geological Survey put the 1km square covering the town centre in a band where between 1 and 3 in 100 homes are estimated to be at or above the radon action level of 200 becquerels per cubic metre. Radon is not measured during an EPC survey and does not affect the rating, but if you are buying, selling or improving a home here it is worth a test kit, and worth knowing before you seal a property up: draught-proofing and insulation work can raise indoor radon if ventilation is reduced. The atlas is indicative and works to a 1km grid, so it describes the area rather than any one property.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Planning records published for the area within a mile of Golborne centre show 4 conservation areas. That matters for an EPC in two ways. A listed building is normally exempt from needing one where meeting the minimum energy requirements would unacceptably alter its character or appearance, though the exemption is not automatic and the decision rests with the owner on advice. And in conservation areas and article 4 areas the improvements an EPC recommends, replacement glazing or external wall insulation in particular, often need consent before they can be carried out. Your assessor will record what is actually there; the consent question is one for the council.

What an EPC costs in Golborne

An EPC around here generally costs between £55 and £150, though it depends on the property: floor area, whether there are rooms in the roof, extensions, and how far the assessor travels all move the price. We are not a panel and we do not set anybody's fees, so the figure you are quoted comes from the assessor doing the work. Contact one above for a price on your property.
