The Energy Performance Certificates lodged against a postcode in England and Wales — the address, the band, and the date the certificate was lodged.

An Energy Performance Certificate records what a qualified assessor found when they visited a home on one particular day, and places it on a scale from A to G. This page lists the certificates the government register holds for the postcode you enter, newest first — the address on each one, the band it was issued at, and the date it was lodged.
The rating belongs to the certificate, not to the house as it stands now. A certificate is valid for ten years, so the newest one for an address can be most of a decade old, and new windows, a new boiler or a loft full of insulation fitted since the visit will not appear in it until somebody commissions a fresh assessment.
Each certificate lodged against the postcode: the address it was issued for, the band from A to G, and the date the certificate was lodged on the register.
The Energy Performance of Buildings register, published as open data under the Open Government Licence. England and Wales — Scotland and Northern Ireland run separate registers, both linked on the page.
What a home with no certificate would be rated, what your bills will be, or what has changed since the assessor called. The register’s postcode search does not return the efficiency score, the potential band or the details of the building either, so none of those appear here — we show what the register sends and leave the gaps as gaps.
Enter the postcode above. Every certificate lodged against it appears with its address, so you can find the one for the property you are looking at. If nothing comes back for that address, the register holds no certificate for it.
A is the most efficient and G the least, and a home nearer the top of the scale costs less to run. Each band is a range, so two homes can sit in the same band and still be some way apart — the band is the figure the register returns for a postcode search, and it is the one shown here.
Not here. A certificate also carries a potential band — what the assessor judged the property could reach if the recommended work were done — but the register’s postcode search does not return it, so this page does not show it rather than showing you a blank. Open the certificate on the government register, which lists the potential rating and the improvements behind it.
A certificate is only required when a property is built, sold or let. A home that has stayed in the same hands since certificates began in 2008 may never have needed one, and an older certificate that has passed its ten years is no longer valid. We show nothing in that case rather than estimating a band.
No. This register is England and Wales. Scotland publishes through the Scottish EPC Register and Northern Ireland through the EPB Register, and both are linked on the page so a blank result here is never mistaken for a property without a certificate.
A certificate lists the improvements. These are the people registered to carry them out.
Businesses listed by the area they cover. We check what we can before a listing appears — ID, insurance, and the register behind a gas or electrical certificate — and take no commission on anything you arrange.
