Is an EPC a legal requirement for landlords in Bromley?

Yes. The Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations 2012 require every landlord — including those letting property in Bromley — to provide a valid EPC to prospective tenants before marketing a property to let. Failure to comply can result in a local authority penalty charge of up to £5,000.

What is the minimum EPC rating required to let a property in Bromley?

Under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), landlords in Bromley must not let a property on a new tenancy if it has an EPC rating below E. Letting a property rated F or G on a new or renewed tenancy is unlawful and can result in a fine of up to £5,000.

How much does an EPC cost in Bromley?

An EPC in Bromley starts from £89.99 for a studio apartment. A 1–3 bedroom property costs £109.99, and a 5-bedroom property costs £149.99. The only location-based surcharge is £20 for properties within the London Congestion Charge Zone, and £10 if no free on-site parking is available.

What does the EPC assessment check?

Our accredited Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) inspects the property's insulation, heating system, hot water system, windows, lighting and any renewable energy installations. Each element is scored to produce an overall energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), along with a report of recommended improvements and their estimated cost and impact.

How long is an EPC valid?

An EPC is valid for 10 years from the date of assessment, or until a newer EPC is registered for the same property, whichever comes first. You do not need a new EPC for every tenancy as long as your existing certificate has not expired.

What is an EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates the energy efficiency of a property on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). An accredited Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) inspects the property's insulation, heating system, hot water system, windows and lighting to produce the rating, along with a report of recommended improvements and their estimated cost and impact.

Every landlord in England must provide a valid EPC before marketing a property to let, and the property must meet the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard (MEES) of an E rating or above. This national standard applies in Bromley as it does across England.

Legal requirement: The Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations 2012 require a valid EPC before any residential property in Bromley is marketed to let. Under MEES, properties rated F or G cannot lawfully be let, and failure to provide a valid EPC can result in a local authority penalty of up to £5,000.
