The cost of an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) in 2026 depends mainly on property size, location, and urgency — not the value of the property. A £1 million flat and a £150k flat can cost the same if they are similar in size.

Can a Cheap EPC Cause Problems?
Yes — extremely cheap EPCs often mean:
Incorrect floor area
Missing insulation evidence
Lower rating than deserved
Problems renting under MEES law
A bad EPC can cost far more than the certificate itself.
Key Tip
You are not buying a certificate — you are buying an accurate rating.
