EPC Certificate

Selling or renting out a property? You’ll need a valid EPC certificate (Energy Performance Certificate) before you list. At Manchester EICR Limited, we provide fast, reliable EPC assessments across Greater Manchester for landlords, homeowners, and estate agents.

What Is an EPC Certificate?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) shows how energy-efficient a property is, with a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It also includes:

Recommendations to improve energy efficiency
Estimated running costs
CO₂ impact of the property

Your EPC certificate in Manchester is valid for 10 years, and must be in place before a property is marketed for rent or sale.

Is an EPC a Legal Requirement?

Yes. Under the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations, landlords and sellers must provide a valid EPC to prospective tenants or buyers before viewings take place.

It’s illegal to let or sell a property without one — and fines of up to £5,000 may apply if you fail to comply.

You must have an EPC:

When selling your home
When renting out a domestic or commercial property
For all new tenancies and renewals (unless exempt)

Who Needs an EPC?

Landlords & HMO owners
Homeowners
Estate and letting agents
Social housing providers
Commercial property owners (if under 50 sqm)
