An EPC is an Energy Performance Certificate. This assessment will look at potentially how much the property costs to heat and light and how high or low the levels of carbon dioxide emissions emitted from the property are. The EPC rating takes into account the elements available at the property to be used, not how your personal lifestyle uses them.
Once the assessment has been done, an EPC rating between ‘A’ and ‘G’ will be given to the property on the EPC Certificate. Attached to this certificate will be a sheet of recommendations that offer advice to the property owner on how to improve the building’s overall energy efficiency. This can help lower carbon emissions and lower the overall running costs of the property in relation to the lower energy bills that will occur, as a result of the home owner following the recommended measures and seeking professional advise from the specialists required.
Things to keep in mind when you're getting an EPC survey done
All property being sold or let must have a domestic energy assessment (DEA) completed and lodged.
Only registered domestic energy assessors are able to carry out and lodge an EPC.
Currently a lodged Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is valid for 10 years.
An EPC is not required if you are selling or letting a Listed Building.
A typical DEA survey takes 45 minutes, dependent on property size.
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is an official document that measures the energy efficiency of a property. Whether you are selling, letting or managing a property, an Amesbury EPC provides an independent assessment of how efficiently the building uses energy and where improvements can be made.
Every certificate includes an easy-to-understand rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), alongside an estimated energy cost, environmental impact information and personalised recommendations that could improve the property’s efficiency over time.
An EPC helps homeowners, buyers, landlords and tenants understand the likely running costs of a building before committing to a purchase or tenancy. It also forms part of the legal documentation required for many property transactions throughout Amesbury and the surrounding Wiltshire area.
Whether you own a modern apartment, a family home, a listed cottage or a commercial premises, an accurate Energy Performance Certificate in Amesbury provides valuable information about your property’s energy performance.
There are several reasons why obtaining an Amesbury EPC is important beyond simply complying with legislation.
An EPC gives potential buyers and tenants confidence by providing independent information about expected heating costs, insulation standards and overall energy efficiency. Increasingly, purchasers compare EPC ratings when deciding between similar properties, particularly as energy bills continue to play a major role in household budgets.
For landlords, an EPC helps demonstrate compliance with current rental regulations while highlighting opportunities to improve efficiency before letting a property.
For homeowners considering improvements, the recommendations contained within an Energy Performance Certificate can often identify practical upgrades that reduce running costs whilst increasing comfort throughout the year.
Having an up-to-date EPC also helps avoid unnecessary delays when marketing your property for sale or rent.
Every Energy Performance Certificate awards a rating between A and G.
A – Exceptional energy efficiency
B – Very efficient
C – Above average
D – Average UK home
E – Minimum standard for most rental properties
F – Poor efficiency
G – Very poor efficiency
A higher rating generally means:
Many older Amesbury homes naturally achieve D or E before improvements are made.

Most residential EPC surveys take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the property.
The assessor measures the property, records construction details, examines insulation, heating systems, glazing and lighting, then calculates the property’s official energy efficiency rating using government-approved software.
