Preston, Lancashire

Commuter links and local amenities make Preston a busy market for sales and rentals. EPC ratings help buyers and tenants compare running costs between similar-looking homes.

Use the search form with PR1 or your full address. Published profiles show services, credential badges and price basis when supplied by the business.

You control who receives your enquiry — select up to ten EPC assessors covering your district. Each business decides independently whether to reply.

• Independent businesses — not employed by EPCguys
• District-level coverage rules
• One enquiry, up to ten recipients
• No fabricated prices or reviews

For lettings, confirm the property meets current minimum energy standards and that the rating is visible in advertising. Your assessor explains the label after the visit.

If your postcode is on the edge of Preston, neighbouring towns in Lancashire may share the same outward code. Search with your full postcode for the most accurate match.

Browse our Lancashire county page for other towns and cities in the region, or jump straight to assessor search if you already know your district code.

You do not need to prepare extensive documents, but having boiler service records or insulation certificates to hand can speed up questions about recent works.

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 Preston's typical housing stock — especially pre-1919 terraces and post-war estates.
