Check a property's EPC rating
An Energy Performance Certificate scores a property from A to G based on a 1–100 point scale, and it matters more every year: buyers ask about running costs, lenders price efficiency into some mortgages, and landlords face the government's announced EPC C policy for 2030. Address Lens shows the EPC for any England & Wales address alongside the property's sold price history and risk screening.
What the EPC check shows
- Current rating and score — the band (A–G) and the underlying points.
- Potential rating — what the assessor calculated the property could reach.
- Expiry date — certificates last ten years; an expired EPC must be renewed before selling or letting.
- Recommendations — the assessor's measures list, the starting point for any upgrade plan.
- Floor area and property details recorded at assessment.
How to check an EPC
- Search the postcode, full address including its postcode, or UPRN.
- Open the property's report — the EPC card shows the rating, score, expiry and recommendations.
- If you're a landlord, screen the rating against the announced 2030 rules — see our EPC C by 2030 guide.
No EPC found? Not every property has one. A certificate is only required when a property is built, sold or let, so a home that hasn't changed hands since 2008 may have no EPC on the register at all.
