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 Lambeth 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 Lambeth 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.

EPC assessments in Lambeth — local property context

Lambeth is largely a borough of flats: at the 2021 Census, 51.6% of households lived in purpose-built flats, against 40.3% across London. Houses are a minority, with 15.0% of households in terraced houses (London 21.3%), 7.8% in semi-detached and 2.0% in detached homes. A further 1.1% lived in commercial buildings such as flats over shops.

More Lambeth households rent from the council or a housing association than from a private landlord, and most private lets in the borough now need a council licence. Our accredited DEA assessors are experienced with the insulation and heating systems typically found in properties across the SW2, SW9, SW16, SW4, SW8, SE27, SE11, SE24, SE1, SE5, SW12, SE21, SE19 postcode areas, and regularly carry out EPC assessments across Lambeth for private landlords, letting agents and HMO operators.

EPCs in Lambeth: on the selective form only for the fee discount
