Section 2 · Homebuyer Report

Official EPC certificate & energy rating

Energy Performance Certificates shape mortgages, MEES letting rules and running costs. We pull the published domestic EPC so you see the rating before you commit.

What’s included in this section

  • Current and potential energy ratings and scores
  • Floor area, heating system and insulation notes from the certificate
  • Estimated annual energy cost where published
  • Recommended improvement measures and a GOV.UK record link when available

Why buyers care

An EPC is often skimmed at the bottom of a listing. In the report it sits as a full section: band, score, potential band, property attributes the assessor recorded, and the upgrade recommendations the register publishes.

Landlords and investors use this for MEES planning; homebuyers use it to forecast bills and avoid Band F/G surprises. Coverage is the domestic EPC open register for England and Wales — some older or exempt properties have no certificate.

Common questions

What if there is no EPC?

We state when none is found. Exempt properties and some older stock may have no domestic certificate on the open register.

Is the energy cost a personal quote?

No — it is the estimate published on the certificate, not a live tariff from your supplier.
