What Is the EPC Register?
Your Official Source for Energy Performance Certificates
The EPC Register is the official government database where all valid Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland are stored.
It allows homeowners, landlords, tenants, and agents to find, view, or verify any EPC that has been issued for a property.
At EPC Wearside, every certificate we produce is uploaded directly to the UK Government’s EPC Register, ensuring it’s fully legitimate, traceable, and compliant with national standards.
What the EPC Register Does
The EPC Register serves several key purposes:
- ✅ Stores every valid EPC issued by accredited domestic and commercial energy assessors.
- 🔍 Allows public access to check or download EPCs for any property that has one.
- 🧾 Verifies authenticity, helping prevent fraudulent or fake certificates.
- 🕒 Keeps records for 10 years, the standard validity period of an EPC.
- ⚖️ Ensures legal compliance, as every EPC must be officially recorded on this register.
The EPC Register is managed by the UK Government and is part of the government’s efforts to improve energy efficiency and transparency in the property market.
How to Find Your EPC
You can easily search for your EPC online via the government’s official website:
🔗 https://www.gov.uk/find-energy-certificate
You’ll need either:
- Your property address, or
- Your EPC report reference number (RRN) — a unique 24-digit code found on your certificate.
Once found, you can view, download, or print your certificate free of charge.
Why the EPC Register Matters
The EPC Register is important for several reasons:
🏠 Transparency
It ensures that every property’s energy performance information is public, so buyers and tenants can make informed decisions.
✅ Verification
It confirms that your EPC was carried out by a qualified and accredited assessor, not an unregistered or fraudulent provider.
📊 Energy Data Tracking
The government uses this data to monitor energy efficiency trends across the housing market and plan environmental policies.
🧾 Proof of Compliance
If you’re selling or renting your home, being able to show your EPC on the register proves that you’re meeting legal obligations.
How EPC Wearside Works with the Register
When you order your EPC from EPC Wearside, our assessor:
- Carries out your property assessment.
- Enters all data into approved EPC software.
- Uploads the final report directly to the official EPC Register.
- Emails you a copy of your certificate (usually within 24 hours).
Your EPC will then be live and publicly searchable on the government’s site — completely compliant and ready for your estate agent, solicitor, or letting agency.
What Information Is Stored on the Register
Each EPC record includes:
- Property address
- Energy efficiency rating (A–G)
- Environmental impact (CO₂ emissions)
- Estimated running costs
- Recommended improvements
- Certificate reference number (RRN)
- Date of issue and expiry
- Details of the accredited assessor
This ensures complete transparency and makes it easy for anyone to verify your property’s energy rating.
Checking If Your EPC Is Still Valid
EPCs are valid for 10 years from the date of issue.
You can use the EPC Register to check your expiry date and decide if you need a renewal.
If your EPC has expired — or if your property has undergone major improvements like new insulation, windows, or a boiler — it’s a good idea to get a new EPC to reflect the updated performance.
