What is an EPC and How Does it Work?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) measures the energy efficiency of a property on a scale from A to G, with A being the most energy efficient and G being the least. The EPC is based on factors such as insulation, heating, ventilation, and lighting within the property. This information is then converted into a report that provides recommendations for cost-effective ways to improve the energy efficiency of the property.

Benefits of Having an EPC

One of the main benefits of having an EPC is that it can help property owners save money on energy bills by implementing the recommendations provided within the report. This can also result in a more comfortable living environment for tenants and homeowners. Additionally, having a high EPC rating can make a property more appealing to potential buyers and renters in Harworth as it demonstrates an investment in energy efficiency.

Government Regulations

The government introduced regulations to improve the energy efficiency of buildings, and one of the requirements was the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). From the 1st of April 2018, it became mandatory for landlords with a new letting or renewal of an existing tenancy, to obtain an EPC rating of E or higher before renting their property. This regulation applies to all residential rental properties, including student accommodation, and HMOs. In addition, any alterations or building work performed to a building will usually require a new EPC.

The government is also currently enforcing Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) that came into effect in April 2018. MEES prohibits landlords in Harworth from renting out properties with an EPC rating of F or G to new tenants or entering new tenancy agreements. After April 2023, landlords will also be prohibited from continuing to lease any property with an EPC rating below E.

What Happens During an EPC Assessment?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) assessor is responsible for assessing the energy efficiency of a property in the UK. During a visit to a property, an EPC assessor will typically look for the following things:

  1. Type of property: An EPC assessor will first determine the type of property, whether it’s a house, flat, or maisonette, and how many floors it has.
  2. Insulation: The assessor will inspect the loft, cavity walls, and any other insulation present in the property to determine its effectiveness.
  3. Heating system: The assessor will check the type and efficiency of the heating system, including boilers, radiators, and thermostats.
  4. Hot water system: The assessor will examine the hot water system, including the type of hot water cylinder and whether it’s insulated.
  5. Lighting: The assessor will inspect the lighting in the property to determine whether energy-efficient bulbs are used.
  6. Windows: The assessor will check the type of glazing used in the windows and whether they are draught-proofed.
  7. Energy use: The assessor may also ask for information about the energy use in the property, such as how many people live there and how long the property is occupied each day.

Based on these factors, the EPC assessor will assign an energy efficiency rating to the property and make recommendations for improving its energy efficiency.

It is worth checking first — you can look up an EPC by postcode for any Harworth property and see when it runs out.

EPC data for Harworth

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

2,063EPCs reach their 10-year expiry in the next 12 months
Band CThe most common rating, on 44% of certificates
52%Rated D or below, against 46% nationally
£1,100Average 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 Bassetlaw rates

Share of the 15,640 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

67% of the certificates lodged here are for houses. The average floor area is 87.8m², about the England and Wales average. Estimated heating costs average £1,100 a year, £161 a year above the national figure. 39% of certificates were lodged for rented homes.

Radon in Harworth

Harworth sits in the lowest radon band. The UKHSA and British Geological Survey estimate that less than 1 in 100 homes in the 1km square covering the town centre reach the radon action level of 200 becquerels per cubic metre. Radon is not part of an EPC survey and does not affect the rating. At this level it is not usually a concern, though individual homes can still vary. 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 Harworth centre show 1 conservation area and 11 listed buildings. 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 Harworth

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.
