EPC March – Energy Performance Certificates
If you’re selling or letting a property in March, you must have a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) before it can be marketed. An EPC provides an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and includes recommendations for improving performance.
This page helps homeowners and landlords arrange a local EPC in March efficiently, whether preparing a property for sale, letting, refinancing, or reviewing compliance.
Local EPCs for March properties
March has a mix of traditional town housing, post-war estates, and modern residential developments. EPC requirements commonly apply to:
Victorian and early 20th-century terraces (central March and near the town centre)
Often solid wall construction with varying insulation levels. EPC ratings frequently depend on insulation upgrades, heating system efficiency, and glazing improvements.
1950s–1970s semi-detached and estate housing (around Estover Road and Gaul Road areas)
Typically cavity wall construction with pitched roofs and gas central heating. Ratings are usually influenced by loft insulation depth, glazing type, and boiler efficiency.
Modern housing developments
Newer estates around the outskirts of March generally benefit from improved insulation standards but still require a valid EPC for sale or rent.
Rental properties
March has an established private rental sector serving local residents and commuters. Landlords must ensure properties meet Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) before letting.
Because EPC results depend on construction type, insulation levels, glazing, and heating systems, properties across March can produce different ratings even within the same street.
What happens during an EPC assessment?
An EPC assessment in March involves a short, non-invasive inspection to gather the information required for the certificate.
The assessor will typically review:
• Property size, layout, and construction age
• Wall type and insulation (where visible)
• Loft or roof insulation (if accessible)
• Heating system, boiler details, and controls
• Hot water provision
• Windows, glazing type, and fixed lighting
The visit does not involve drilling or disruption. Most domestic assessments take between 30–60 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the property.
Providing documentation for insulation upgrades, boiler installations, or replacement glazing can help ensure the most accurate rating.
How quickly can I get an EPC in March?
In most cases:
• Appointments are available within a few days
• The on-site assessment usually takes under an hour
• The EPC is lodged on the national register within 24 hours of the visit
This allows sellers, landlords, and agents to proceed without delay.
