EPC Surveys North West: Key Updates for 2025

As of June 2025, significant changes have been implemented in the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) system, impacting property owners and landlords across the North West. The introduction of RdSAP 10 marks the most substantial overhaul in over a decade, aiming to enhance the accuracy of EPC assessments by incorporating more precise data collection methods. This update necessitates additional information during surveys, potentially affecting the cost and duration of assessments ([propertymark.co.uk](https://www.propertymark.co.uk/resource/major-epc-overhaul-due-to-take-effect-on-15-june-2025.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com)).

Regionally, the North West has experienced a 9% decline in EPC lodgements for existing dwellings from April to June 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 ([gov.uk](https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/energy-performance-of-building-certificates-in-england-and-wales-april-to-june-2025/energy-performance-of-buildings-certificates-statistical-release-april-to-june-2025-england-and-wales?utm_source=chatgpt.com)). This trend underscores the growing importance of maintaining and improving EPC ratings, especially as the government has reinstated plans requiring all privately rented homes to achieve a minimum EPC rating of C by 2030 ([moneyweek.com]
