Online EPC Check and Energy Retrofit Reports

Are you in the process of buying or renting a property in the UK and need an online EPC check? Or are you a landlord who needs to view the energy efficiency of your properties? PropertyData's Plot Map tool is an easy way to perform an online EPC check.

What is an EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a document that outlines the energy efficiency of a property. It provides a rating from A to G, with A being the most energy efficient and G being the least. EPCs are required for all properties built, sold, or rented in the UK.

Why is an EPC important?

Having an EPC is crucial for property buyers, renters, and landlords. For buyers and renters, an EPC can help them understand a property's energy efficiency, which can impact the cost of utilities and overall living expenses. An EPC is a legal requirement for landlords, and failure to comply can result in fines and penalties.

What are the current EPC rules for landlords?

Currently all properties that are let to tenants require an EPC rating of ‘E’ or above. It is illegal to let a property with and F or G rating.

From 2025, all newly rented properties will be required to have an EPC rating of C or above. For existing tenancies, the new regulations won’t apply until 2028.

Where does the raw data come from?

Property listings seen on rightmove.co.uk, zoopla.co.uk and onthemarket.com.

How often is the data updated?

The data is updated in near real-time.

What time period does the data cover?

This is a real-time market snapshot - the data covers currently listed properties. Once properties are removed from the portal, they are soon removed from this tab.

How is the raw data processed?

Duplicates from multiple sources are matched and reconciled as far as possible. Listings with obvious errors, where price or number or bedrooms appear out of range, are discarded.

What are the statistics used?

Averages shown are the interquartile mean, a type of average that is insensitive to outliers while being its own distinct parameter. The 80% range means that 80% of the listed properties fall inside this range.

How do you know the square footage of properties?

We use proprietary technology to read the square footage of properties from agent floorplans. Although we cannot determine the square footage for all properties, we can usually get sufficient coverage. Agents are sometimes known to inflate square footage, and this should be borne in mind as a weakness of this data.

Where does the raw data come from?

Property "price paid" data provided by the Land Registry, and Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) data provided by Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities.

How do you know the square footage of properties?

We match the Land Registry data to EPC data provided by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities. Due to the fact that not all properties sold have had an EPC and vagaries of addressing in the UK, we are not able to determine the square footage of all properties, but we can usually get sufficient coverage.

How is the raw data processed?

Duplicates from multiple sources are matched and reconciled as far as possible. Listings with obvious errors, where price or number or bedrooms appear out of range, are discarded.

What is the yield calculation used?

The calculation used is (average_weekly_asking_rent * 52 / average_asking_price), expressed as a percentage. It is a top-line gross yield, meaning no expenses are considered.
