Getting an EPC in Essex
415,380 homes and 23,545 commercial buildings in Essex have an EPC on the register.
Every home and commercial building needs a valid EPC before it is sold or let. Domestic EPCs start from £59.95+VAT and commercial EPCs from £99.95+VAT. Each certificate lasts ten years, and we lodge it on the national register for you.
Letting a property? Rented homes and commercial buildings must be EPC E or better today. See MEES for landlords of rented homes or commercial MEES and the 2031 plan.
