The only domestic properties that are exempt from requiring an EPC for the purposes of sale and letting are listed buildings. This has become more complicated since the introduction of the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) legislation in 2018. Now any listed properties that are for rental need to either have an EPC with at least an E rating or better, or apply to be put on the MEES exemption register. To go on this register it is required that evidence is provided as to why the improvement recommendations on the EPC are not suitable for the building, and the only way to do this is by getting an EPC. As such the only domestic dwellings currently exempt from needing an EPC are listed buildings for sale. Even for these buildings, an increasing number of mortgage companies and financial institutions are refusing to carry out sale transactions unless either there is an E rated or better EPC in place, or the building is on the MEES exemption register.

Mike has done a number of EPC’s for us and have always found his service fantastic.
Mr Rossiter, West Bromwich
Mike produced a certificate for our rental property with the minimum of fuss, he arranged with the tenant a convenient time to do the inspection and handled the whole process.
Mrs Firkins, Stourbridge.
I asked Mike to do an EPC for my elderly Mothers property as she was looking to sell so she could move into a retirement village, Mike handled the whole process with great care and understanding and on his visit to Mom’s property spent time explaining the process to her which reassured her completely. Thanks Mike.
Mrs Johnson, Birmingham
Mike was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish, great service, great advice, great price.
Mr & Mrs Ball, Birmingham
We were quoted £90 for an EPC by an Estate Agent, Mike was recommended to me by a friend and he completed the job within 24 hours for about half the price.
Thank you.
