If you are selling, renting, or managing a property in Westminster, obtaining a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement. An EPC measures the energy efficiency of a property and provides recommendations for improvements that can help reduce energy consumption and running costs. Most assessments are completed quickly by accredited domestic energy assessors, with certificates typically issued within 24 to 48 hours and remaining valid for ten years. Westminster's property market includes everything from historic Georgian townhouses to modern apartments, making professional local expertise important when assessing energy performance.
