Energy efficiency is a defining factor in today’s UK property market. Whether you work in estate agency, lettings, conveyancing, surveying, or mortgage broking, EPC ratings can play an integral part in understanding the property you’re marketing, valuing or organising the finance for.
With Sprift, you have access to 300+ verified data points for more than 30 million UK residential properties, all linked by UPRN and aggregated from official sources. Within your Sprift property dashboard, EPC data sits alongside ownership, comparables, and planning details, helping you move efficiently from insight to documented action.
This guide supports property professionals who use verified data to inform decisions. For estate and lettings agents, the EPC rating of a property can support marketing efforts that need to explicitly share material information and with briefing vendors or landlords accurately. Surveyors can use EPC insights to inform valuations and reporting, while mortgage brokers can identify potential opportunities with green mortgage products and prepare stronger case packs. Every role benefits from understanding EPC data and how it supports daily operations.
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a standardised report showing how energy efficient a property is. Ratings use lettered bands from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), with an associated numerical score. An EPC is required by law to market a property for sale or rent, ensuring that energy information is transparent from the outset. Certificates are valid for ten years, though many are updated following improvements. As EPCs are a material information requirement and can impact lender assessments, they’re central to managing active property files.
EPC ratings data should be included within an ‘invitation to purchase’, in line with current guidance. The latest legislation around material information defines activities such as a property listing or advert as an ‘invitation to purchase’. All activities deemed to be an ‘invitation to purchase’ must clearly provide the material information, or a link to the material information, for that property so a consumer has the opportunity to review the information, and decide before they engage with an agent, if the property for sale or let is potentially suitable for their needs. As the EPC rating of a property is a material information requirement, this must be included in all activities deemed to be an ‘invitation to purchase’ such as portal listings, printed brochures, print and digital adverts, window displays, postal direct mail campaigns, new take-on emails to applicants, social media posts and video tours. At Sprift, our platform can be used to support your material information compliance framework with up to 300+ data points on over 30 million UK residential properties available via our intelligent dashboards, including EPC ratings.
Include EPC insights in your Sprift property reports to brief clients on realistic improvements that may contribute to higher energy performance bands.
Mortgage brokers can check EPC data within our dashboards to better understand product eligibility and include registration links in case packs. This streamlines lender checks and improves efficiency in packaging applications.
Use the EPC graph to demonstrate how planned works could broaden product options or influence valuation outcomes.
Surveyors should include the EPC rating, graph, and key notes within valuation files, attaching the official register link for verification.
Accredited assessors use the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) to capture data on building fabric, services, and renewable technologies. These inputs are processed using approved software to produce a clear A–G rating with recommendations that can be referenced in advice and client documentation.
EPC data appears all in one place on our platform, for every residential UK property, including the rating, and a live link to the official EPC register. That means faster assessment, verification and clearer reports. The best part? You won’t even need to switch sites.
When agents, surveyors, and brokers work from the same verified record, communication improves, the process becomes streamlined, and transactions move faster. Being able to source all of this property-specific information from one easy-to-use platform and share the insights between property professionals means less time-consuming, disjointed research so your teams can move from insight to action with confidence.
Late or missing EPC data can cause compliance issues and delay transactions. Addressing energy performance information early ensures accuracy, supports audits, and helps teams deliver seamless client experiences. We provide the rating, visual graph, and direct EPC register link within one workflow.
Some lenders offer green mortgage products for properties with higher EPC bands. Having accurate EPC data helps brokers position applications effectively and respond quickly to eligibility queries.
