EPC Leicester – Energy Performance Certificates

If you’re selling or letting a property in Leicester, you’ll need a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) before it can be marketed. An EPC shows how energy-efficient a property is and provides a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).

This page helps you arrange a local EPC in Leicester quickly and efficiently, whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, or preparing a property for sale or rent. The process is straightforward and usually completed in a single visit.

Local EPCs for Leicester properties

Leicester has a large and varied housing stock, and EPCs are commonly required for homes across the city including:

Clarendon Park, Highfields and Stoneygate – older terraces and period housing where insulation levels and heating systems can vary significantly

Aylestone, Braunstone and Westcotes – a mix of traditional housing and post-war estates, where EPC ratings often depend on upgrades such as loft insulation, glazing, and boiler efficiency

Evington, Thurnby Lodge and Hamilton – a combination of family homes and newer developments, typically with more consistent performance but still influenced by heating controls and insulation

Because EPC results are influenced by construction age, insulation, glazing, and heating systems, properties across Leicester can receive very different ratings even within the same area.

What happens during an EPC assessment?

During an EPC assessment in Leicester, the assessor will carry out a short, non-intrusive inspection of the property to collect the information required for the certificate.

This typically includes checking:

  • Property size, layout, and age

  • Wall construction and insulation (where visible)

  • Loft or roof insulation (if accessible)

  • Heating system, controls, and hot water provision

  • Windows, glazing, and fixed lighting

  • energy efficiency upgrades and paperwork

EPC assessments don’t involve any drilling or disruption. It usually takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the size and layout of the property.

How quickly can I get an EPC in Leicester?

In most cases:

  • Appointments are available within a few days

  • The on-site assessment is completed in under an hour

  • The EPC is lodged on the national register within 24 hours of the visit

As a result, homeowners, landlords, and agents to move forward with selling or letting a property without unnecessary delays.

EPCs for landlords and sellers in Leicester

You’ll need an EPC if you are:

  • Selling a house or flat in Leicester

  • Letting a residential property

  • Advertising a property through an estate or letting agent

Landlords must also ensure their property meets Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) before it can be legally let. This helps ensure rental properties meet the required standard.

EPC data for Leicester

Figures below are for the Leicester local authority area, from the Energy Performance of Buildings Register to 2026 Q2.

6,005EPCs reach their 10-year expiry in the next 12 months
Band DThe most common rating, on 44% of certificates
53%Rated D or below, against 46% nationally
£871Average 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 Leicester rates

Share of the 40,316 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

65% of the certificates lodged here are for houses. The average floor area is 77.6m², roughly 8m² smaller than the England and Wales average. Estimated heating costs average £871 a year, £68 a year below the national figure. 45% of certificates were lodged for rented homes, a notably high share, so Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards bite harder here.

Radon in Leicester

Leicester 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 Leicester centre show 18 conservation areas, 289 listed buildings and 174 article 4 direction 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 Leicester

An EPC around here generally costs between £60 and £155, 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.

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legally required document that rates a property’s energy efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
