What is an EPC?

In short, an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a document that provides information about the energy efficiency of a property. This document is required by law for all properties that are built, sold, or rented in the UK.

An EPC assesses the energy efficiency of a property on a scale of A (very efficient) to G (inefficient). The assessment is based on several factors, including the type of property, its age, insulation, heating and hot water systems, double glazing, and more. The certificate also includes recommendations for improving the energy efficiency of the property.

Why Do I Need an EPC?

There are two main reasons why you might need an EPC for your property in Stevenage. The first is that it’s required by law. If you’re planning to sell or rent your property, you must have an up-to-date EPC available for potential buyers or tenants to see.

The second reason to get an EPC is that it can help you save money on your energy bills. The certificate will provide you with recommendations on how to make your property more energy-efficient. Implementing these recommendations can help reduce your energy consumption and lower your bills. In some cases, you may even be eligible for government grants or other financial incentives to help offset the cost of making these improvements.

What Are the Benefits of Getting an EPC?

There are many benefits to getting an EPC for your property in Stevenage, both for you as the owner/landlord and for potential buyers or tenants. Here are just a few of the benefits:

  1. You’ll comply with the law: As we mentioned above, one of the main reasons to get an EPC is because it’s required by law if you’re planning to sell or rent your property.
  2. You could save money on energy bills: As we also mentioned above, another key benefit of getting an EPC is that it can help you save money on your energy bills by making your property more energy-efficient.
  3. It’s good for the environment: Making your property more energy-efficient also has environmental benefits. Reducing your energy consumption can help reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants.
  4. It could make your property more attractive to potential buyers or tenants: If you’re planning to sell or rent your property in Stevenage, having an up-to-date EPC can make it more attractive to potential buyers or tenants. This is because they’ll know that the property is compliant with the law and that they could potentially save money on their energy bills by living there.
  5. It could add value to your property: In some cases, implementing the recommendations from your EPC can add value to your property. This makes sense when you consider all of the benefits we’ve listed above – compliance with the law, lower energy bills, environmental friendliness, etc. All of these factors can make your property more appealing to potential buyers or tenants and therefore increase its value.

EPC data for Stevenage

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

1,929EPCs reach their 10-year expiry in the next 12 months
Band CThe most common rating, on 66% of certificates
30%Rated D or below, against 46% nationally
£745Average 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 Stevenage rates

Share of the 14,183 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

64% of the certificates lodged here are for houses. The average floor area is 74.4m², roughly 11m² smaller than the England and Wales average. Estimated heating costs average £745 a year, £194 a year below the national figure. 32% of certificates were lodged for rented homes.

Radon in Stevenage

Stevenage 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 Stevenage centre show 5 conservation areas and 62 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 Stevenage

An EPC around here generally costs between £70 and £170, 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.
