EPC Assessor Liverpool

Get an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to assess your property’s energy efficiency from a trusted local expert.

Hi, I’m Stephen, your EPC Near Me assessor in Liverpool.

The importance of an EPC for homeowners and landlords in Liverpool cannot be understated. It’s not just about compliance with the law, but also about recognising the numerous benefits that come with having a property that’s energy efficient.

What is an EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a document that provides information about a property’s energy efficiency. In a nutshell, it grades a property from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) based on various factors like insulation, heating, and lighting. EPCs are needed for domestic and commercial properties being sold or rented in the UK and are valid for 10 years. The certificate also has recommendations for energy-saving improvements, giving property owners an idea of what upgrades can enhance their building’s efficiency.

Benefits of Having an EPC

  1. Energy Savings – An EPC can offer valuable insights into how you can save energy and reduce your utility bills. The recommendations listed on the certificate aim to make your property more energy-efficient, directly benefiting your pocketbook.
  2. Increased Property Value – Properties with a higher EPC rating often command higher market values. If you decide to sell or rent your property, a good EPC rating can make it more attractive to prospective buyers or tenants.
  3. Compliance with Regulations – Having a valid EPC is not just advisable; it’s a legal requirement. The government mandates that any property being sold or rented must have an up-to-date EPC. Failing to comply with this can result in fines and penalties.
  4. Environmental Impact – By following the energy-saving recommendations on your EPC, you contribute to reducing your carbon footprint. In the age of climate change, this is not only beneficial for you but also for the planet.

Upgrades Liverpool Property Owners Can Make

  1. Insulation – One of the most effective ways to improve your EPC rating is through better insulation. Adding cavity walls or loft insulation can dramatically increase energy efficiency.
  2. Solar Panels – While the initial investment is significant, solar panels can substantially improve your energy efficiency rating. This is especially true for properties in sunny locations.
  3. Energy-Efficient Appliances – Replacing old, energy-guzzling appliances with newer, energy-efficient models can contribute to a better EPC rating. Look for appliances with an A+++ energy rating.
  4. Double Glazing – For properties in colder regions, double glazing can significantly improve heat retention, thereby improving your EPC rating.

Government Regulations

The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) came into effect in April 2018, prohibiting landlords from letting properties with an EPC rating below E. As of April 2020, this rule also applies to existing tenancies, making it crucial for property owners to upgrade their buildings to meet this standard. There are financial penalties for non-compliance, which can be quite substantial.

In light of the UK’s commitment to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, the government has announced plans to further tighten EPC requirements. While the specifics are still under discussion, it’s clear that EPC ratings will become increasingly important in the coming years.

Why Homeowners and Landlords Need an EPC Certificate Liverpool

  1. Local Initiatives – Liverpool has been active in promoting energy efficiency through various local programs. Participating in such initiatives often requires a valid EPC, making it essential for property owners in the city.
  2. Market Demand – The awareness of energy efficiency is growing among Liverpool residents. A good EPC rating can make a property stand out in this increasingly eco-conscious market.
  3. Legal Requirements – As mentioned, having a valid EPC is a legal requirement for selling or leasing rental properties. With Liverpool’s housing market seeing constant activity, having an up-to-date EPC is non-negotiable for homeowners and landlords.
  4. Future-Proofing – Given the government’s commitment to improving the country’s energy efficiency, having a good EPC rating now will save you from potential future headaches. It’s better to make the necessary upgrades today than to scramble to meet new, stricter regulations down the line.

EPC data for Liverpool

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

11,312EPCs reach their 10-year expiry in the next 12 months
Band CThe most common rating, on 61% of certificates
34%Rated D or below, against 46% nationally
£786Average 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 Liverpool rates

Share of the 86,059 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

63% 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 £786 a year, £153 a year below the national figure. 50% of certificates were lodged for rented homes, a notably high share, so Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards bite harder here.

Radon in Liverpool

Liverpool 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 Liverpool centre show 12 conservation areas, 653 listed buildings and 264 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 Liverpool

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.
