EPC Assessor Pricing Calculator 2025/26

A domestic Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) in the UK typically costs £60–£120 in 2025/26, depending on property size, location and assessor. London and the South East tend to be at the higher end. Commercial EPCs are more expensive: £150–£400 for small units, £400–£1,500+ for large or complex commercial buildings. Many estate agents include an EPC in their sales service. Landlords renewing or granting new tenancies in England, Scotland and Wales must hold a valid EPC (band E minimum).

Domestic EPC assessors must hold a Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) qualification, typically achieved through a City & Guilds, ABBE or equivalent Level 3 Award, and must be registered with an approved accreditation scheme (Elmhurst Energy, Quidos, Stroma, NHER or BRE). Commercial assessors need a Non-Domestic Energy Assessor (NDEA) qualification at Level 4 or above. Continuing professional development is required annually to maintain accreditation. Criminal record checks (DBS) are required by most accreditation bodies.

Yes. In England and Wales, landlords must have a valid EPC for any rented property and the property must meet at least band E. Since April 2020, landlords cannot legally let a property with an EPC rating of F or G without an exemption. The government has proposed requiring a minimum EPC band C for new tenancies from 2028 and all tenancies from 2030, driving demand for retrofit assessments and improvement work. Scotland has its own regulations with similar requirements.
