Hi, I’m James, your EPC Near Me assessor for Leigh.

EPCs in Leigh From £47

Are you selling or renting your property? Then it’s likely you’ll need an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). Not only is it a legal requirement, but an EPC can also help show potential buyers or tenants how energy efficient your property is. While the thought of getting an EPC may be daunting, I’m here to make it easy for you. As a certified assessor in Leigh, I offer EPCs at a competitive price of just £47. So, why not take advantage of this cost-effective solution and get your EPC today? If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Thank you for considering my services.

What is an EPC?

An EPC, or Energy Performance Certificate, is a document that provides information on the energy efficiency of a property. The certificate is valid for 10 years and must be renewed if any significant changes are made to the property that could affect its energy efficiencies, such as installing new windows or insulation.

EPCs are prepared by qualified assessors, like me, who use standard methods to measure the energy performance of a property. The assessor will take into account factors such as the type of fuel used for heating, the type of insulation installed, and the efficiency of the heating and hot water system. Based on this information, the assessor will give the property an energy efficiency rating on a scale of A (very efficient) to G (inefficient).

Why Do You Need An EPC?

Having an EPC can be beneficial for homeowners and landlords in Leigh for several reasons. First, it helps you save money by showing ways to reduce your energy usage. Additionally, if you are planning to sell or rent out your home, having an up-to-date EPC will help with marketing since potential buyers or tenants will see that your home is efficient which could give them peace of mind when deciding whether or not to purchase or rent it. Finally, all homes being sold or rented out must have an up-to-date EPC due to government regulations.

The Government Regulations

The government requires that any home that is being sold or rented out has an up-to-date Energy Performance Certificate. This regulation was introduced in 2008 in order to increase the overall energy efficiency of homes across England and Wales by encouraging people to invest in making their homes more efficient. The government also requires that landlords have an “E” rating or higher on their properties before they can be let out as residential dwellings. Therefore, if you are a homeowner looking to sell or a landlord looking to rent out a property in Leigh, having an up-to-date EPC is essential for meeting these requirements set forth by the government.

Not sure whether the property already has a valid certificate? find your property’s EPC on the government register in seconds.

EPC data for Leigh

Figures below are for Wigan, the local authority covering Leigh, 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 Leigh

Leigh 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 Leigh centre show 5 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 Leigh

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.
