What is an EPC?

An EPC is a certificate that shows the energy efficiency of a property. The certificate has two ratings—an overall energy efficiency rating from A (the most efficient) to G (the least efficient), and an environmental impact rating from A (the least impact) to G (the most impact). The certificate also contains useful information about ways to reduce your carbon footprint and save money on utility bills. This includes advice on insulation, heating systems, ventilation, double-glazing, etc.

Government Regulations

The government requires landlords and homeowners in Lowton to get an Energy Performance Certificate when they are selling or renting out their homes. This is because it provides valuable information about the efficiency of homes in Lowton so prospective buyers or tenants can make educated decisions about which property is right for them. Furthermore, if landlords do not obtain an EPC before renting out a property, they face fines of up to £200.

Benefits of Having an EPC

Having an EPC can be beneficial for both landlords and homeowners alike as it allows them to make informed decisions about making improvements to their properties that will save them money in the long run. Also, having a good energy efficiency rating can help attract more buyers and tenants since this will result in lower utility bills for them! Furthermore, some lenders require landlords to have an up-to-date EPC before offering mortgages for rental properties; this means having one could make it easier for people who are looking to buy rental properties in Lowton.

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

EPC data for Lowton

Figures below are for Wigan, the local authority covering Lowton, 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.

Radon in Lowton

Lowton 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 Lowton centre show 2 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 Lowton

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.
