Required by law before selling or renting a property in Scotland. An Energy Performance Certificate rates your home from A to G and shows exactly which improvements would lift your rating and cut bills.
Your EPC is legally required when selling or letting a property in Scotland. It also explains how energy efficient your home is and includes practical recommendations that may improve comfort, reduce running costs and increase your property's energy performance.
Your EPC can affect your home's running costs, saleability and appeal to buyers or tenants. Higher-rated homes are generally cheaper to heat, while lower-rated properties may benefit from recommended improvements. Future energy efficiency standards for rental properties are also expected to become more demanding, making it worthwhile to understand your home's rating today.
Every Watt EPC assessment includes a personalised recommendation report to help you understand where improvements could make the biggest difference.
