EPC Certificate Lewisham — 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 Lewisham as it does across England.

EPC assessments in Lewisham — local property context

Older terraced housing makes up a large part of Lewisham's stock, alongside flats in converted houses. Council tax records date 27.7% of properties to before 1900 (VOA 2025). At the 2021 Census, 26.2% of households lived in a terraced house and 16.3% in a flat in a converted or shared house.

At the 2021 Census, 33,289 Lewisham households rented privately. As of October 2026, selective licensing covers the borough except Telegraph Hill and part of Blackheath, and HMO licensing covers all of it. Our accredited DEA assessors are experienced with the insulation and heating systems typically found in properties across the SE6, SE13, SE23, SE8, SE4, SE14, SE26, SE12, BR1, SE3 postcode areas, and regularly carry out EPC assessments across Lewisham for private landlords, letting agents and HMO operators.

EPCs in Lewisham: an F rating brings an inspection before the licence

Lewisham does not inspect every selectively licensed home before granting the licence. It inspects first only the properties it treats as serious concerns. An EPC rated F is one of the triggers, alongside suspected HMOs, outstanding enforcement notices and landlords with a history of illegal eviction.

An F-rated home cannot lawfully be let unless an exemption is registered, so improvement works or a registered exemption are needed now. In Lewisham the rating also puts the home among those the council visits before licensing, so check the current certificate before you apply.
