EPC Certificate Merton — 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 Merton as it does across England.

EPC assessments in Merton — local property context

Most Merton homes predate 1939, and the inter-war years, not the Victorian era, are the largest single build period. Only 26.5% of council tax properties were built before 1919, below London's 29.1%, and about 88% predate 2000 (VOA 2025). Flats in converted or shared houses hold 9.2% of households, against 11.1% London-wide (Census 2021).

At the 2021 Census, 29.1% of Merton households rented privately, close to London's 30.0%. Owner-occupation was 55.6% (London 45.2%) and social renting 14.2% (London 23.1%). Our accredited DEA assessors are experienced with the insulation and heating systems typically found in properties across the SW19, CR4, SM4, SW20, SW16, KT3, SW17 postcode areas, and regularly carry out EPC assessments across Merton for private landlords, letting agents and HMO operators.

EPCs in Merton: about 671 private lets below the E line in 2022

The same study found that flats make up 56% of Merton's private rented stock on EPC records, even though most Merton households live in houses.
