What Is the EPC Register?

The EPC Register is the official national database where all valid Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are stored and verified. Each time an accredited energy assessor completes an EPC, the certificate is uploaded or “lodged” to the EPC Register. This system allows property owners, landlords, tenants, and buyers to access accurate information about a property’s energy efficiency and environmental impact.

How the EPC Register Works

The EPC Register is managed under government regulations to ensure transparency and reliability. Every EPC includes a unique reference number, energy rating, and expiry date. Once your assessment is complete, your certificate becomes publicly accessible on the official register, allowing anyone to check its authenticity and validity online.

Our Role at scottishepcregister.co.uk

scottishepcregister.co.uk is an independent EPC contractor — we are not the official government EPC register. However, all EPCs we produce are lodged to the official EPC Register immediately after assessment. This ensures your certificate is fully recognised, compliant, and available for public verification.

Why the EPC Register Is Important

The EPC Register helps maintain trust and accountability in the property market. By keeping every certificate in a central database, it ensures that EPCs cannot be falsified or altered. Buyers and tenants can easily view energy ratings before making property decisions, and landlords can prove compliance with energy efficiency regulations.

How to Find Your EPC on the Register

If you already have an EPC, you can search for it on the official government EPC Register using your property’s address or certificate number. Your certificate will show the energy efficiency rating, environmental impact score, and recommended improvements. If you cannot locate a valid certificate, it may have expired — EPCs are valid for 10 years from the date of issue.

When to Get a New EPC

You’ll need a new EPC if your current one is more than 10 years old, or if you’ve made significant improvements to your property, such as new insulation, heating, or glazing. A new assessment ensures your home’s current performance is reflected accurately in the EPC Register.
