Most Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are based on a behind-the-scenes calculation called the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP). What many assessors won’t tell you is that this system relies heavily on default assumptions—like insulation levels based on the age of your home, or outdated data on energy emissions from the national grid.
Your actual energy bills or modern upgrades (if not documented) may be ignored. That means your EPC rating might not reflect how efficient your property truly is. Small details like unsealed draughts, lack of heating controls, or missing LED lights can quietly drag your score down.
