Prime EPC & Design Consultant: energy certification in Greater Manchester

Prime EPC & Design Consultant Ltd is a Bolton-based company providing energy certification and compliance services for homeowners, landlords, and property professionals within a 50-mile radius of Greater Manchester. The firm presents itself as a Quidos-accredited and Stroma-certified assessor, with DBS background checks and City & Guilds qualifications, and operates without middlemen or estate agent commissions.

Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)

The main service is Energy Performance Certificates, an official UK government document that rates a property's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and includes improvement recommendations. The company lodges the certificate with the UK national register and delivers it digitally, with a ten-year validity. The catalogue shown on the website includes domestic, commercial, new build, landlord, property sale, and rental EPCs.

The prices indicated on the website start from £50 for domestic EPCs and from £144 for commercial ones, with a fixed fee and no hidden costs according to the company itself. The process consists of three steps: online booking, a non-invasive on-site inspection lasting between 30 and 60 minutes, and official lodgement with digital delivery within 24 to 48 hours.

EICR and landlord compliance bundle

Alongside the EPC, the company issues EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) certificates for landlords, with a price starting from £110. It also offers a combined EPC and EICR bundle that allows both inspections to be carried out in a single visit, aimed at meeting Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) and UK rental safety regulations.

CAD floor plans and design consultancy

The firm complements its activity with the preparation of CAD floor plans on a quote basis and with design consultancy services, covering everything from the concept phase to project completion, including cost-benefit analysis, energy efficiency optimisation, and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Service area and client profile

The declared coverage spans a 50-mile radius in North West England, with locations cited such as Bolton, Manchester, Salford, Oldham, Blackburn, Stockport, Rochdale, Warrington, Liverpool, and Merseyside. The target clients are private homeowners, landlords, and estate agents who need valid certificates to sell, rent, or market a property, as well as new build developers. The company also has a dedicated portal for bulk EPC orders.

Legal requirements covered

The website reminds that an EPC is mandatory in the UK to sell, rent, or build a home, that it must be available before advertising the property, and that rentals must achieve at least an E rating under MEES standards, except for exemptions such as listed buildings, very small constructions, or temporary structures. The inspection verifies wall, roof, and floor insulation, heating systems, windows, lighting, and the property's floor area.
