The assessor inspects heating, insulation, glazing and lighting, then enters details into accredited software. Most domestic visits in Colchester take around 45–60 minutes depending on property size.

After lodgement, the certificate appears on the public register. Your assessor usually sends a copy directly; agents and solicitors often download it from the register when needed.

Landlords letting residential property in England must meet minimum energy efficiency standards unless a valid exemption is registered. An EPC shows the current rating and recommended improvements.

If you are between tenants, combining an EPC with planned upgrades can reduce void time. Compare assessors who know Colchester's typical housing stock — especially pre-1919 terraces and post-war estates.
