Frequently asked questions
An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is a legal requirement when you sell or let a property in East Suffolk. It rates your home's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), and provides recommendations for improvements. You'll need one before marketing your property, whether you're selling or renting it out.
The average EPC rating in East Suffolk is D, with around 60% of properties rated below C.

If your property is rated D or below, you're in line with the local average.
An EPC certificate is valid for 10 years from the date it's issued. If you're selling or letting your property, you'll need a current certificate. If your certificate is approaching expiry, you'll need to arrange a new assessment before marketing your home.
Loft insulation is the most commonly recommended improvement for properties in East Suffolk. This is a cost-effective upgrade that can significantly improve your home's energy efficiency, help reduce heating bills, and potentially increase your EPC rating. Many mid-20th century houses in the area have inadequate loft insulation, making this an ideal starting point for energy improvements.
Yes, a poor EPC rating can impact both sale value and rental potential.
