An EPC certificate is a legal requirement for every landlord renting or selling a property in Hackney. The Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012 require all properties to have a valid energy performance certificate, and the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) 2018 mean your property must achieve at least a Band E rating before it can be legally let. Penalties reach up to £5,000. EICR Landlord Cert provides EPC assessments from just £89.
Our energy assessors are Elmhurst Energy accredited, DBS checked, and carry full public liability insurance. We offer same-day assessment availability Monday to Friday for landlords and homeowners who need their EPC quickly. Your EPC certificate is issued once the assessment is complete, uploaded to the official EPC register, and a copy sent directly to you. Every assessment is carried out by a qualified domestic energy assessor.
An energy performance certificate rates your property’s energy efficiency from Band A (most efficient) to Band G (least efficient). The EPC records energy use, estimates running costs, and provides recommendations for improvement. Landlords, homeowners, and letting agents all need a valid EPC before marketing to buyers or tenants.
In simple terms, the certificate tells prospective tenants how energy efficient a property is and what improvements could reduce bills. Properties range widely in ratings depending on insulation, glazing, heating systems, and building age. An EPC assessment confirms where your property sits on the scale and whether it meets minimum standards.
Your energy performance certificate is valid for 10 years and stored on the national EPC register. If your EPC has expired or the property no longer meets the minimum EPC rating of Band E, you need a new assessment before legally renting. Landlords can check their current EPC rating online at any time.
Your EPC rating tells you how energy efficient your property is and where it sits on the A to G scale.
Your assessment includes a breakdown of your current rating and potential rating if recommended improvements are completed.
An EPC for landlords is required before you can legally let your property to tenants under the MEES regulations.

An EPC certificate rates your property's energy efficiency from Band A to Band G. It shows estimated energy costs and provides improvement recommendations. The Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012 require every property to have a valid EPC before it is sold or rented.
Yes, an EPC is mandatory for all UK landlords renting out a property. You must hold a valid EPC with a minimum Band E rating under the MEES 2018 regulations. Penalties for non-compliance reach up to £5,000 from the local authority.
An EPC is valid for 10 years from the date it is issued. Landlords should check the expiry before each new tenancy begins. If your property has had energy efficiency improvements since the last assessment, a new EPC may show a better rating, making the property more attractive to prospective tenants.
Landlords need a minimum Band E to legally rent under the MEES 2018 regulations. Properties rated Band F or G cannot be let without a registered exemption. Improvements may be needed before you can rent a property below the minimum standard.
An EPC costs from £89 with EICR Landlord Cert. This fixed price covers the full assessment, certificate, and upload to the national register. There are no hidden fees regardless of property size or type.
A typical EPC assessment takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the size and layout of the property. Your assessor needs access to all rooms, the loft space where possible, and the boiler or heating system to complete the assessment accurately.
No, you cannot legally rent without a valid EPC. The 2012 Regulations require landlords to have one before marketing. Letting without a valid EPC risks fines of up to £5,000 and may prevent the tenancy continuing.
You cannot legally rent your property under the MEES 2018 regulations unless you hold a registered exemption. You must make improvements to reach at least Band E before letting to tenants. Common upgrades include loft insulation, boiler replacement, cavity wall insulation, or double glazing.
Follow the recommendations listed on your EPC report. Common improvements include loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, double glazing, upgrading to a condensing boiler, and switching to LED lighting. Each of these raises your SAP score and can move your property up one or more rating bands.
An EPC assessment checks walls, roof, floors, windows, heating, hot water, lighting, and any renewable energy sources like solar panels. The assessor records the construction type, insulation levels, boiler efficiency, and glazing quality. All of this data is used to calculate your overall energy rating.
