An EPC rates the energy efficiency of a property from A to G and provides recommendations that can help reduce energy consumption and running costs. Accredited assessors serving Newham can usually complete the inspection within 30–60 minutes, with certificates commonly issued on the same day. EPCs remain valid for 10 years and are required for most residential and commercial property transactions.
