EPC Oldham

Booking an EPC in Oldham is straightforward — speak to a local accredited energy assessor to check their availability, agree a price and arrange the assessment.

An Energy Performance Certificate rates a property's energy efficiency on a scale from A at the top to G at the bottom. A valid EPC is normally required before a house or flat is put up for sale or let.

Homes in Oldham range from older terraced and period properties through to more recent developments, so EPCs are needed for a wide mix of house types — terraces, semi-detached and detached houses, converted flats and newer builds.

What happens during the assessment

The assessor carries out a non-invasive survey of the property and notes the features that influence its energy rating, such as:

  • the size and layout of the home
  • property age and construction type
  • the heating system and its controls
  • insulation
  • windows and glazing
  • lighting
  • any renewable technologies such as solar panels
  • energy efficiency upgrades and paperwork

The assessor then uses this information to calculate the rating and produce a recommendation report. Older or unusually laid-out homes can take a little longer, so it helps to mention any unusual features when you book.

How soon can I get an EPC in Oldham?

If you are selling or letting in Oldham, it is worth arranging the EPC as early as possible. Estate agents often ask for it before a property is advertised, and booking ahead reduces the risk of the certificate holding up a sale or tenancy.

Landlords in Oldham

If you let property in Oldham, a valid EPC is required before the home is advertised, and it helps you check the property against the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards. The recommendations can also point to practical upgrades — insulation, glazing or heating controls — that improve the rating.

EPCs when selling in Oldham

Homeowners selling in Oldham normally need a valid EPC in place before the property is advertised. Sorting it out early keeps the sale on track, and the report's suggested improvements can highlight simple changes that may lift the score.

EPC data for Oldham

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

5,061EPCs reach their 10-year expiry in the next 12 months
Band CThe most common rating, on 58% of certificates
40%Rated D or below, against 46% nationally
£852Average 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 Oldham rates

Share of the 24,616 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 78.5m², roughly 7m² smaller than the England and Wales average. Estimated heating costs average £852 a year, £87 a year below the national figure. 36% of certificates were lodged for rented homes.

Radon in Oldham

Oldham 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 5 and 10 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 Oldham centre show 4 conservation areas and 71 listed buildings. 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 Oldham

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.
