EPCs Explained: What Do You Need to Know? ⚡
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) shows how energy-efficient a property is, with a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
Why does it matter?
✅ It’s generally required when selling, renting or constructing a property in the UK, subject to certain exemptions.
✅ It helps you understand your property’s energy performance.
✅ It provides recommendations for improving efficiency and potentially reducing energy bills.
What about MEES?
Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) set minimum energy efficiency requirements for certain rented properties. Understanding the rules can help landlords meet their legal obligations.
At Survey Hub, we provide EPC assessments for residential and commercial properties, alongside a wide range of surveying services across the UK.
