What is an EPC Certificate?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a government-approved document that rates the energy efficiency of a property on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The certificate includes recommendations for improving your property’s energy rating, reducing heat loss, and lowering energy bills.
Every EPC is valid for 10 years and must be produced by an accredited domestic energy assessor. The assessment covers insulation, heating systems, windows, lighting, and floor area calculations to determine the overall energy performance.
Key EPC Details:
- Valid for 10 years from the date of issue
- Required before marketing a property for sale or rent
- Must be displayed in commercial property advertisements
- Legally required under The Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012
Why is an EPC Required in Kensington & Chelsea?
If you’re a landlord, homeowner, or agent in Kensington & Chelsea, you must obtain an EPC certificate before:
- Renting a property: Landlords cannot legally market or let a property without a valid EPC. Since April 2020, all rental properties in England must achieve a minimum rating of E.
- Selling a property: You must provide an EPC to prospective buyers at the earliest opportunity, typically before viewings begin.
- Marketing a property: Estate agents and letting agents require a valid EPC before listing properties on Rightmove, Zoopla, or other platforms.
Failure to provide an EPC in the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea can result in fines of up to £5,000. Properties with ratings below E cannot be legally rented unless exempt.
