Domestic EPCs

A Domestic Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is an essential requirement for selling, renting, or building a property. At Plan My House, we provide fast, reliable EPC assessments to help homeowners, landlords, and developers meet legal requirements and understand the energy efficiency of their property.

Whether you’re selling your home, renting out a property, or completing a new build, our EPC services provide a clear assessment of your property’s energy performance and recommendations for improvement.

What is a Domestic EPC?

A Domestic EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) measures the energy efficiency of a residential property and provides it with an energy rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).

The certificate also includes recommendations to improve efficiency, reduce energy costs, and lower carbon emissions.

Domestic EPCs are legally required for:

Selling a property
Renting a property
New build completion

What’s Included?

Our Domestic EPC service typically includes:

Full property energy assessment
