Domestic & Commercial Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) Huntingdon
We provide EPCs in Huntingdon and across Cambridgeshire for both Domestic and Commercial properties. A valid EPC is required to be in place before the sale or rental of your property. The EPC survey itself is entirely non intrusive and won't damage the building in any way. Once the survey is complete the EPC report will be produced, which gives the building an Energy Performance Rating rating on a scale from A to G.
For most rental properties an EPC rating of E or better is required, in compliance with the Minimum Energy Efficiency (MEES) legislations of 2018. For properties for sale, MEES legislation does not yet apply, however an ever increasing number of financial institutions require properties to demonstrate they would be MEES compliant before agreeing mortgage funding.
Across Huntingdon, the most common domestic EPC band is C, with 62% of homes rated C or above and an average energy-efficiency score of 71 out of 100. Commercial properties in the wider Huntingdonshire area have an average rating of C 65 (UK average D 77).
There is real room to improve: the average Huntingdon home could raise its score by about 14 points, and 69% could improve by 10 points or more. The average home here emits roughly 3.3 tonnes of CO₂ a year.
Around 64% of homes in Huntingdon are owner-occupied and 25% are privately rented. About 76% are houses and 13% flats, and 79% are heated by mains gas. On the fabric, 87% have insulated cavity walls and 94% are fully double-glazed or better.
Letting a property in Huntingdon? About 52% of privately rented homes here are rated below an EPC C, the level the government has proposed as a future minimum for rented homes, and 1.1% are rated F or G, below the EPC E minimum needed to let a home today. We can carry out the EPC and advise on the most cost-effective way to improve the rating.
New-build makes up about 25% of certificates in Huntingdon, averaging a band B. New builds need a SAP calculation and an as-built EPC, both of which we provide.
These figures are from analysis of the 19,734 currently valid domestic EPCs for Huntingdon in the publicly available government data set, covering certificates lodged in the ten years to 2026-08-16 (one per property, its latest). Values are medians/averages from the source data.
