Need an EPC certificate in London? We can help. Our assessors visit your property, check its energy use and send you a valid certificate. Most customers have theirs within 24 to 48 hours of the visit. Prices start from £75, and we quote a fixed fee before we book you in.
An Energy Performance Certificate rates a building’s energy efficiency. The scale runs from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The certificate also lists practical ways to cut energy bills and improve the rating.
The law asks you to hold a valid EPC when you build, sell or rent a property. Estate agents need one before they can market a home. Landlords need one before a tenancy starts. Buyers and tenants can then compare running costs before they commit.
Energy Performance Certificates have been part of UK property law since 2007. Today the government keeps every certificate on one national register. You can search it on the official EPC register.
Three groups ask us for certificates most often.
You must give tenants a valid EPC before they move in. Most rented homes must also reach at least an E rating. The government explains the rules in its guide for landlords. If your property falls below E, we will tell you what to improve.
You cannot market a property without an EPC. Agents often book us as soon as they win an instruction. That way the certificate is ready before the first viewing. Sellers who book early also avoid delays when a buyer appears.
New homes need a certificate when they are complete. Conversions and extensions can need one too. We work with developers on single units and on larger schemes.
We keep the process short, because you probably have a lot else to do.
You do not need to prepare much. However, a few things help. Please give us access to the loft, the boiler and any heating controls. Also keep any paperwork for new windows or insulation. Those documents can lift your rating.
Your assessor checks the features that decide your rating. These include:
We measure the property and record each feature. Then we enter the data into approved software. The software produces the rating and the improvement advice.
A low rating is not the end of the road. Small jobs often make a real difference. Start with the cheap wins, then move on to bigger work.
Landlords should plan the work before they book a new assessment. Once you finish, we visit again and update the certificate. The new rating then shows buyers and tenants what you have done.
An EPC stays valid for 10 years. A change to the property can end that validity sooner. New heating, new windows, extra insulation or an extension can all alter the rating. If you have made changes, a fresh certificate may help you. A better rating can raise interest from buyers and tenants.
Prices across the market range from roughly £50 to £200. The exact fee depends on location, property size and provider. We start from £75 for a straightforward home and give you a fixed quote before we visit. Larger houses, mixed-use buildings and commercial units cost more. We explain why before you pay.
Many customers need more than one document. So our sister services cover the rest of the paperwork:
Booking several together often saves a second visit.
New builds and conversions also need technical calculations for Building Control. We provide SAP EPC calculations and Part G water calculations for projects in London, Watford, Luton and Aylesbury. Our team prepares them from your plans, so you can send them straight to your inspector. The Planning Portal explains how Building Regulations apply to your project.
We cover London and the surrounding counties. That includes Harrow, Watford, Hemel Hempstead, St Albans, Luton, Aylesbury and Chesham. Each area has its own page with local detail. If your property sits close to these areas, ask us anyway. We often say yes.
Do I need an EPC to rent out my flat? Yes. You must give tenants a valid certificate before the tenancy starts.
Can I sell without one? No. You need a valid EPC before you market the property.
How fast can you visit? Often within a few days. We can usually deliver the certificate within 48 hours of the visit.
What if my rating is low? We list the improvements that raise it. Landlords can then plan the work and book a new assessment.
Is the certificate registered? Yes. We lodge every certificate on the national register for you.
