See the current rating, expiry date and potential rating, plus a practical viewing guide that turns the EPC data into useful buyer checks.
Use this free EPC checker to find an Energy Performance Certificate for any house or flat in England and Wales. You can check the property's current rating, potential rating, certificate expiry date and certificate details before you buy, sell or rent. No sign-up required.
Every EPC rates a property on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The higher the band, the lower the energy bills tend to be.
After entering a postcode and selecting an address, you can see the current EPC rating, potential EPC rating, issue date, expiry date, property age band, and wall, roof, window and heating details from the certificate.
A valid EPC is normally one issued within the last 10 years. Use this EPC checker to confirm whether a public certificate exists, when it expires, and whether the current rating shown in a listing matches the latest available record.
A poor EPC can mean higher bills and a less comfortable home. Older heating systems, weak wall insulation, limited roof insulation and single glazing can all affect day-to-day running costs, especially in winter.
