From enquiry to certificate: EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) for landlords in Craigavon, handled by professionals holding the registration the law requires, with pricing confirmed before you commit.
Straight answer

Booking

Pricing
What an EPC costs
Assessments price by bedrooms or floor area as a rough proxy for survey time. Be wary of bundled 'guaranteed rating' offers — no honest assessor guarantees a result before measuring. The range here is national guidance, confirmed for your property before booking.
Credentials
Who you're letting in
Accreditation is the whole game for EPCs — an unaccredited 'assessment' can't be lodged and doesn't legally exist. We confirm the assessor's accreditation and insurance before the visit, and the lodged certificate is your independent proof it was done properly.
The inspection
What the assessor actually measures
The assessor gathers the property's energy facts room by room — construction, heating, insulation, glazing, lighting — photographs the evidence, and lodges the result on the national register. The certificate that comes back carries both the rating and a costed list of improvements that would raise it, specific to your property.
The law
Your legal duty, in plain English
Marketing a let in Craigavon without a valid EPC, and granting a tenancy below an E in England and Wales without a registered exemption, are separate breaches with separate penalties — the MEES side alone carries fines of up to £5,000 per property. Scotland and NI don't currently apply the E-floor, but the certificate itself is still required.
A valid EPC is required whenever a property is marketed for let, and a copy must be given to the tenant.
Most privately rented homes must meet a minimum energy efficiency standard of band E before being let, unless a valid exemption is registered.
An EPC is required when a property is let, and must be displayed or provided to the tenant.
An EPC is required when letting a property in Northern Ireland.
Penalties stated are statutory maximums or court-set; Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is the local housing authority for Craigavon.

Letting in Craigavon: the practical points
The methodology behind your rating is identical across the UK, so nothing scores differently in Craigavon — but enforcement is local. Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council and trading standards handle MEES breaches in England and Wales, and advertising a let without the rating shown is the easiest breach for them to spot.
FAQ
EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) questions, answered
What are the penalties for letting below the minimum rating?
In England and Wales, trading standards or the local authority (Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council in Craigavon) can issue penalties of up to £5,000 per property for breaches of the MEES regulations, alongside publication of the breach.
Do I need the EPC before advertising my Craigavon rental?
You must have commissioned it before marketing and use all reasonable efforts to obtain it within 7 days; the advert should show the rating once available. In practice, get the EPC first — portals ask for it and MEES compliance depends on the rating.
Who can produce an EPC?
Only an accredited energy assessor — domestic energy assessors for homes — registered with an approved accreditation scheme. The register shows each assessor's accreditation, and the certificate carries the assessor's details.
How long does an EPC assessment take?
Usually 30 to 60 minutes on site. The assessor measures the property, inspects heating, insulation, glazing and lighting, and photographs the evidence. The certificate is normally lodged on the national register shortly after the visit.
How can I improve my property's EPC rating?
The certificate itself lists the recommended measures for your specific property with indicative costs and rating impact — commonly loft and wall insulation, improved heating controls, low-energy lighting and draught-proofing. Start with the cheapest measures on your own EPC's list.
