About epc assessors in Malta
An Energy Performance Certificate rates how much energy a building or flat is expected to use for heating, cooling, ventilation, hot water and lighting under standard conditions. It comes with a report suggesting cost-effective improvements. In Malta you need one when a property is built, sold or rented to a new tenant, and it must be handed over before the promise of sale or rent agreement is signed.
The assessor visits, measures the property and notes the walls, roof, windows, shading, water heating and air conditioning. That data goes into the official calculation, and the certificate only counts once it is registered with the Building and Construction Authority. A building still on plan gets a design rating EPC, and a new one is needed if what is built differs from the design.
The fee usually depends on the size and type of property, how many units are being rated, how far the assessor travels, and whether plans and details of the building services are ready. Having floor plans and details of the water heater, air conditioners and any solar panels to hand can shorten the visit.

Good to know in Malta
- Under the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations (S.L. 623.01), an owner must obtain an EPC when a building is constructed, sold or rented, and the EPC must be shown and handed over to the buyer or new tenant before the promise of sale or rent agreement. Source
- To be valid, an EPC must be issued by an independent EPB assessor and registered with the Building and Construction Authority.

- An EPC is valid for ten years from the date it is first issued, provided no major renovation or alteration takes place in the building. Source
- When a property with an EPC is advertised for sale or rent, the advert must state its energy performance indicator, following the Advertising Requirements Guidelines published by the Building and Construction Authority. Source
- If the seller or landlord does not provide the EPC in time, the buyer or tenant may engage an assessor and deduct the cost from the price or the rent. Source
Questions
How much does an EPC cost in Malta?
Assessors set their own fees, which usually reflect the size and type of property, how many units are rated, travel and how much information you already have. A small flat with plans ready is simpler than a large old townhouse with no drawings. Ask what the fee includes, whether registering the certificate is part of it, and when you will receive it.
When do I need an EPC in Malta?
Under the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations, an EPC is needed when a building or unit is built, sold or rented out to a new tenant. The owner must show it to the buyer or tenant and hand it over before the promise of sale or rent agreement is signed. Adverts for a property with an EPC must state its energy performance indicator. Some buildings, such as places of worship, are exempt.
How long is an EPC valid in Malta?
An EPC is valid for ten years from the date it is first issued, as long as there is no major renovation or alteration to the building. If you have renovated since, expect to need a new one. Before you list a property, check the issue date on your existing certificate and whether anything has changed since then.
How do I check an EPC assessor is registered?
A valid EPC must come from an independent assessor registered with the Building and Construction Authority. Registration requires a warrant as an architect, civil or structural engineer, or mechanical or electrical engineer, plus training approved by the Authority. Ask for the assessor's name and registration details and check them with the Authority. The certificate should not be issued to you until it is accepted on the register.
