How it works

Four clear stages

1. 01

   Check the official register first to see whether the property already has a valid EPC.

2. 02

   If a new certificate is needed, arrange access for a domestic energy assessment.

3. 03

   The assessor records evidence about the property using the approved assessment method.

4. 04

   The completed certificate is lodged on the official register and can then be viewed or downloaded.
