What changes the price
- Floor area and number of bedrooms
- Region (London and South East dearer, North and Midlands cheaper)
- Property age, extensions and complexity
- Rural or remote location and travel
- Urgency or same-day turnaround
- Whether the assessor is a high-volume online provider or a local surveyor
- Multiple units (HMOs, portfolios) priced per unit
Does it depend where you live?
Yes. Guides put typical prices a little lower in the North and Midlands (around £50 to £85) and higher in London and the South East (around £80 to £120), for a similar home.
How to get a fair quote
- An EPC lasts 10 years, so you only need a new one if the old one has expired or you have made big changes.
- Beware a price that looks too good. Check the assessor is accredited and that the price covers the lodging fee.
- Get at least three quotes for the same job, and compare what each includes as well as the total.
- Check the provider’s accreditation. See how we check listings.
