EPC Certificate Islington — from £89.99

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 Islington as it does across England.

EPC assessments in Islington — local property context

Islington fits 225,000 residents into 15 square kilometres, the second densest borough in England and Wales on the council's figures, and most of its homes are flats. At the 2021 Census, 57.4% of households lived in purpose-built flats and 21.3% in flats or bedsits in converted or shared houses, while 12.7% lived in terraced houses. The stock is old: 35.9% of council tax properties predate 1900 (VOA 2025).

Islington expects landlords to join the London Rental Standard and be accredited, and requires a licence for shared homes of three or more people from two households or more. Our accredited DEA assessors are experienced with the insulation and heating systems typically found in properties across the N1, N7, N19, N5, EC1, N4 postcode areas, and regularly carry out EPC assessments across Islington for private landlords, letting agents and HMO operators.

EPCs in Islington: conservation-area roofs

Islington's conservation areas include Canonbury, Barnsbury, Highbury Fields, Tufnell Park, Charterhouse Square, Newington Green, Clerkenwell Green and New River.

Inside them, the council says some alterations need planning permission that would not be needed elsewhere, such as roof alterations and dormer windows. If an EPC recommends work that changes the outside of the roof, check whether permission is needed before you price it.
