EPC Certificate Kingston upon Thames — 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 Kingston upon Thames as it does across England.

EPC assessments in Kingston upon Thames — local property context

In 2012 the council said most of its housing was two storeys high, so many shared houses fell outside the mandatory scheme of the time. That scheme covered only homes of three or more storeys. The 1930s are the largest single building era, at 28.0% of the borough's 70,420 council tax properties (VOA 2025), and semi-detached houses are the most common home type (Census 2021).

Census 2021 counted 17,911 Kingston households renting privately, and the council's register listed 447 licensed HMOs on 10 October 2026. Our accredited DEA assessors are experienced with the insulation and heating systems typically found in properties across the KT2, KT3, KT6, KT5, KT9, KT1, KT4 postcode areas, and regularly carry out EPC assessments across Kingston upon Thames for private landlords, letting agents and HMO operators.

EPCs in Kingston's historic buildings: the council's offer on exemption evidence

Kingston's energy efficiency page names double glazing, new doors and windows, and external wall insulation as works that might unacceptably alter some buildings: those that are listed, historic or in a conservation area. Areas on the council's list include Kingston Old Town, Surbiton Hill Park, Coombe Hill, Fairfield/Knight's Park and Old Malden.

Where the measures on an EPC look like those, the council says it may be able to provide evidence for an exemption based on planning approval. It does this by looking at how likely planning permission or listed building consent would be. It asks owners of historic or listed buildings to get in touch for that advice, so ask before ruling a measure in or out.
