When manually uploading a listing to your Residential sales listings department, it's important that you add EPC ratings so the listing meets the requirements as set out by National Trading Standards, and appears correctly on site.
Additionally, all listings can have content added such as floorplans or EPC reports.
To add an EPC rating and upload a floorplan or EPC report:
- Log in to ZooplaPro
- Click the Manage listings tab
- Click Residential sales listings
- Click Add listing to add a new listing, or locate and click an existing listing to edit it
- Scroll down to the EPC rating input section
EPC rating input
Note
As part of National Trading Standards (NTS) requirements around EPC ratings, the EPC rating must be displayed prominently on each residential sales listing within 30 days of them going live.
Where EPC data hasn’t been provided, we’ll default to displaying government EPC data on listings.

Should the letter of the rating element have additional consecutive letters, i.e. a word string such as “not yet known”, we'll ignore it.
The EPC rating is displayed at the top of each listing on Zoopla. As shown in the image below, the question mark tooltip next to the EPC rating will explain to potential buyers where it may have come from.
