An EPC certificate is a legal requirement for any landlord renting or selling a property in the City of London. The Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012 and the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) 2018 require all rental properties to hold a minimum EPC rating of Band E before a tenancy can begin. Landlords who let a property without a valid energy performance certificate face penalties of up to £5,000. EICR Landlord Cert provides EPC assessments across the City of London from just £89 at a fixed price.
Our EPC assessors are Elmhurst Energy accredited, DBS checked, and carry full public liability insurance. We offer same-day assessment availability Monday to Friday for City of London landlords and homeowners who need their EPC quickly. The assessment covers insulation, heating systems, glazing, lighting, and renewable energy sources. Your certificate is issued once the assessment is complete and lodged on the official EPC register for your records.
An energy performance certificate rates the energy efficiency of your City of London property on a scale from Band A (most efficient) to Band G (least efficient). The certificate gives your property an SAP score based on the type of heating, level of insulation, quality of glazing, and the presence of any renewable energy systems. Every energy performance certificate is valid for 10 years from the date of the assessment.
For City of London landlords, the energy performance certificate serves two purposes. First, it confirms your property meets the minimum Band E rating required under MEES 2018 for rental properties. Second, it provides prospective tenants with a clear picture of expected energy costs, which can influence their decision to rent. Estate agents and letting agents must display the EPC rating in property listings.
The energy performance certificate also includes a recommendations report. This section suggests improvements such as loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, double glazing upgrades, or a more efficient boiler that could raise your EPC rating and reduce energy bills. City of London landlords looking to improve their rating can use these recommendations as a practical guide.
Every landlord renting a property in the City of London must hold a valid EPC before marketing or letting the property to tenants.

An EPC assessment in the City of London is carried out by a qualified domestic energy assessor who visits your property to evaluate its energy efficiency. The assessor records details about every element that affects energy use, from the type of heating system and hot water provision to the level of insulation in the walls, roof, and floor. A standard residential EPC assessment typically takes between 45 minutes and one hour.
The assessor uses the SAP calculation method to produce your energy efficiency rating. They measure the property’s dimensions, note the construction type, check window glazing, and record the age and efficiency of the boiler or heating system. For City of London properties, the assessor also looks at lighting, ventilation, and any renewable energy installations such as solar panels.
Once the assessment is finished, your EPC certificate is produced and lodged on the official MHCLG EPC register. City of London landlords receive a digital copy with the energy efficiency rating, the environmental impact rating, and a full list of recommended improvements. The assessment is non-invasive and does not require any preparation from the landlord.
