Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) can only be completed by a qualified Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) or Homes Inspectors, who have carried out the necessary training and passed a Diploma level 3 in Energy Assessment or Home Inspection, and then they must be accredited and registered with a government approved Accreditation Scheme. The DEA will inspect the property and collect all the necessary information to form the basis of an EPC, this is then input and preparation made available to produce the report and Certification.

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is intended to inform potential Buyers or
Tenants about the energy performance of a building, so they can consider energy
Efficiency as part of their investment or business decision to buy or occupy that
Building.
This must be made available by the seller or a landlord to a prospective buyer or tenant at the earliest opportunity free of charge before any sale or let is agreed.
