Energy Performance Certificates were introduced in 2007 and are a legal requirement for a building to be sold, let or constructed. Once obtained, an EPC is valid for 10 years.
The most efficient homes, which should have the lowest fuel bills are categorised in band A (being rated the best in energy performance as a whole).
The Certificate will tell you on a scale of A-G, the energy efficiency of your home along with the potential scale after improvements are made, with 'A' being the most efficient home.
Better-rated homes should have less impact through Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions, the EPC will show the amount of CO2 emissions produced by that property in tonnes, and will advise on the amount this could be reduced by.
"It was my first time using the my constructor site and I was very happy with the service. I needed an EPC for a home I was selling. It literally took a few minutes to book online and I received confirmation straight away with details etc. On the day of the appointment the assessor Alan Howard was there on time, he was friendly, polite and I received the certificate the very same day. All in all 5* for the whole service."

"We booked in for an EPC at short notice and Alan from AH Surveys thankfully managed to squeeze us in. He was friendly and professional and even sent us the completed EPC within a couple of hours from leaving our house. Would definitely recommend his services."
