What determines the price of an EPC?

The cost of an EPC is influenced by several factors:

• Property type: an apartment is usually cheaper than a large detached villa, as there is less surface area and fewer building components to inspect
• Surface area: a larger property requires more measurement time and more calculations
• Complexity: properties with multiple heating zones, outbuildings or mixed use are more complex
• Region: some firms charge extra travel costs
• Available documentation: if plans, invoices or an EPB declaration are available, the inspection can proceed more efficiently

Why do prices vary so much?

On the Flemish market, we see prices ranging from €150 to more than €500. In our inspections, we often see that cheaper offers come with less thorough inspections. An EPC expert who works too quickly risks making errors that cost you dearly later — for example, a worse score than your property deserves, which can lower the sale price.

In our experience, it is better to choose an experienced expert who works thoroughly. Paying a few dozen euros more for a correct EPC can make thousands of euros difference when selling.

Is an EPC tax-deductible?

The costs for an EPC are not directly tax-deductible for private individuals. For landlords and property investors, the EPC can be claimed as a business expense. Consult your accountant for your specific situation.

Tips to save on your EPC

• Multiple units at once: do you have multiple apartments or properties? Ask for a bundle discount
• Prepare documentation: prepare your inspection well with invoices and plans — this saves time and can improve the score
• Choose a local expert: lower travel costs with a firm in your area
