Do I Need an EPC to Sell My House in Plymouth?

Mar 18, 2026

If you’re planning to sell your property in Plymouth, one of the first things you’ll need to check is whether you have a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).

👉 The short answer is: yes, you do need an EPC to sell your house.

Is an EPC a Legal Requirement?

Yes — by law, you must have a valid EPC before marketing your property for sale.

This means:
• Before listing with an estate agent
• Before advertising online (Rightmove, Zoopla, etc.)

Without an EPC, your property cannot legally be marketed.

When Do I Need to Get an EPC?

You should arrange your EPC before putting your property on the market.

Most estate agents in Plymouth will ask for:
👉 An EPC rating before listing your property

The good news is:
👉 EPCs can usually be completed within 24–48 hours.

How Long Does an EPC Last?

An EPC is valid for 10 years.

So if you’ve had one done recently, you may not need a new one.

👉 Not sure? We can check this for you.

What Happens If I Don’t Have an EPC?

If you try to sell without one:
• You could face fines
• Your property listing may be delayed
• Estate agents may refuse to market your property

👉 It’s always best to get it sorted early.
