What is an EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal document that contains information about the energy efficiency, carbon emissions, and environmental impact of a property. It is issued by a qualified Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) after inspecting the property. The DEA will assess the insulation, heating system, windows, and other factors that impact the property’s energy efficiency. The resulting EPC rating is a measure of the property’s potential energy efficiency, ranging from A to G, with A being the most efficient and G being the least efficient.

Why is an EPC Essential?

There are several reasons why homeowners and landlords in Matlock need an EPC. Firstly, it is a legal requirement when selling or renting out a property. Failure to provide an EPC can result in a fine. Secondly, an EPC can help homeowners and landlords identify areas where they can improve the property’s energy efficiency, which can lead to lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint. Finally, an EPC can increase a property’s market value and make it more attractive to potential buyers or renters.

Benefits of an EPC

As mentioned earlier, an EPC can identify areas where a property can become energy efficient, which can result in lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint. By making cost-effective improvements to the property, the property owner can attract more tenants or buyers and increase the property’s resale value. The EPC can also provide information about the property’s expected energy bills, which can be useful for tenants and buyers in Matlock when making decisions. It can increase trust between the property owner and the occupant due to transparency over the energy efficiency of the property.

Government Regulations

The government has put in place regulations related to EPC, and property owners in Matlock need to be aware of them. Firstly, an EPC is required when selling or renting out a property. Secondly, properties with an EPC rating below an E cannot be rented out, and this regulation will be tightened in the future, and over time, less energy-efficient properties will become un-rentable. Finally, the government has set targets for reducing carbon emissions, and EPC is a crucial tool in achieving these targets.

EPC data for Matlock

Figures below are for Derbyshire Dales, the local authority covering Matlock, from the Energy Performance of Buildings Register to 2026 Q2.

1,396EPCs reach their 10-year expiry in the next 12 months
Band DThe most common rating, on 40% of certificates
61%Rated D or below, against 46% nationally
£1,386Average 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 Derbyshire Dales rates

Share of the 9,410 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

72% of the certificates lodged here are for houses. The average floor area is 98.2m², roughly 13m² larger than the England and Wales average. Estimated heating costs average £1,386 a year, £447 a year above the national figure. 27% of certificates were lodged for rented homes.

Radon in Matlock

Matlock sits in a radon Affected Area. The UKHSA and British Geological Survey put the 1km square covering the town centre in a band where more than 30 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 Matlock centre show 7 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 Matlock

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.
