What is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) shows how energy-efficient your property is, rated from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
It includes details on energy use, carbon emissions, and practical suggestions for improvement.
At QPexus, we make the process simple, accurate, and fully compliant with UK government standards.

What are the EPC requirements for landlords?
Landlords in the UK must ensure all rental properties have an EPC rating of E or above to comply with the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES).
Future regulations may raise this minimum to C, so we recommend landlords schedule EPC reviews early.
