Domestic EPCs

An EPC is required on a domestic property when it is first constructed, sold or let. The EPC lasts 10 years.

There are two types of Domestic EPCs:-

New build properties

  • SAP methodology used.
  • On site survey is not required.
  • Full building plans, elevations and construction details are required.
  • A PEA (Predicted Energy Assessment) is produced from the plans to ensure the property will comply before building commences.
  • An On Construction EPC is produced when the build is completed. This is required by Building Control.
