A valid EPC certificate is a legal requirement for every landlord who is letting or selling a property. The Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012 require the certificate to be available to prospective tenants before a tenancy agreement is signed. Under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) 2018, the property must score at least Band E to be legally lettable, and penalties reach up to £5,000 for non-compliance. EICR Landlord Cert arranges EPC assessments across the area from £89 with a fixed price and no hidden fees.
Our assessors hold Elmhurst Energy and Quidos accreditation, and every one carries a DBS check and full public liability insurance. Same-day assessments are available Monday to Friday for properties across the area. Your EPC certificate is produced once the assessment is complete and lodged on the official EPC register, where it stays valid for 10 years.
An energy performance certificate grades your North London property’s energy efficiency from Band A (best) to Band G (worst). The assessment looks at the building fabric, heating system, insulation, hot water provision, and lighting to calculate total energy use. The resulting EPC rating gives prospective tenants a clear idea of likely energy bills and highlights where improvements could be made.
For landlords, the certificate fills two roles. It meets your legal obligation under the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012, and it gives tenants hard data on running costs that shapes rental demand. Properties with higher ratings let more quickly because tenants associate better ratings with lower bills.
The certificate comes with a recommendation report that ranks improvements by cost-effectiveness. Common suggestions for properties in the area include a boiler upgrade, loft insulation, double glazing, and LED lighting. Even small changes can bump a property from Band E up to Band D.
Your EPC rating decides whether you can legally let your property and how energy-efficient it is relative to similar buildings.
Knowing your current EPC rating lets you plan upgrades, set a budget, and stay on the right side of MEES.
An EPC assessor is the accredited professional who visits your property to carry out the energy performance assessment.
EICR Landlord Cert uses only Quidos-accredited and Elmhurst Energy-approved assessors for all North London EPC assessments.
An EPC in the area costs from £89 with EICR Landlord Cert. The fixed price covers the on-site assessment, the certificate, the recommendation report, and lodgement on the official EPC register. There are no extra charges for larger properties and no hidden extras.
Some providers add surcharges for travel or parking, but we do not. The price we quote is the price you pay. Landlords managing several properties across the area can take advantage of portfolio pricing that brings the per-property cost down further.
We also provide EICR certificates, Gas Safety certificates, and PAT testing for North London landlords. Booking your EPC alongside other compliance services in one appointment is the most efficient way to manage your obligations and keep costs under control.
Landlords need a valid EPC before they can market a property for rent. MEES 2018 sets the minimum at Band E.
Check your EPC rating well in advance of listing any property across the area, because a valid certificate shields you from enforcement action.
The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards apply to every rental property across the area, barring landlords from letting anything rated below Band E.
EICR Landlord Cert helps landlords understand their MEES duties and reach the required EPC rating.
WHY LANDLORDS CHOOSE US
Accredited engineers covering your area at fixed prices with no hidden fees.
Every engineer holds government-approved accreditation, is fully insured with public liability cover, and is DBS checked.
Every certificate meets current UK legal requirements and is accepted by all local authorities and letting agents nationwide.
All prices confirmed upfront. No call-out charges, no admin fees, and portfolio pricing available for landlords with multiple properties.
Certificates are issued digitally once the inspection is complete, with same-day assessment available Monday to Friday wherever your property is located.
An EPC certificate in the area is valid for 10 years from the date of the assessment. Unlike a gas safety certificate, there is no annual renewal. That said, there are good reasons to get a new EPC before the old one runs out.
If you have invested in energy-efficiency upgrades, such as a new boiler, extra insulation, or better windows, a fresh assessment will capture the improved rating. Properties at Band C or above tend to let faster because tenants link higher ratings to lower bills. Should the government tighten MEES to Band C in the future, having a strong rating now puts you in a better position.
The EPC register is open to the public, meaning any prospective tenant or buyer can look up the rating before they contact you. If the certificate is a few years old and you have made improvements, commissioning a new one makes sense.
A domestic EPC covers residential properties, including flats, houses, maisonettes, and HMO rooms across the area. This is the certificate most landlords require.
Most domestic assessments in the area take between 45 and 90 minutes, depending on property size.
A commercial EPC is required for non-domestic properties across the area, including offices, shops, restaurants, and warehouses being sold or let.
EICR Landlord Cert arranges commercial assessments for North London business owners and property managers through our qualified assessor network.
EICR Landlord Cert provides EPC assessments near you across North London. Our Elmhurst Energy accredited assessors cover every part of the area, and same-day assessments are available Monday to Friday. Fixed pricing means you know the cost before the assessor arrives.
Every assessor is DBS checked and insured under our public liability policy. The assessment is non-invasive and usually takes under an hour for a standard flat. Your certificate is produced once the assessment is complete and lodged on the EPC register straight away. We take care of the whole process from booking to certificate delivery.
North London landlords, homeowners selling up, and estate agents all use our service for fast, accurate EPC certificates at a transparent price. No hidden charges, no call-out fees, and no surprise extras on any job we attend.
Improving your EPC rating may be needed to meet MEES or to make your property more appealing to prospective tenants.
Our assessors can advise North London landlords on which improvements will deliver the biggest gain for their specific property.
EPC renewal in the area is needed once the existing certificate reaches its 10-year expiry, or sooner if you want an updated rating after carrying out improvements.
Contact EICR Landlord Cert for your EPC renewal in North London with fast assessments and no hidden charges.
An EPC is an Energy Performance Certificate that rates a property's energy efficiency on a scale from Band A to Band G. The Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012 require every North London landlord to hold a valid EPC when letting or selling a property. The certificate must be provided to prospective tenants before any tenancy agreement is signed.
An EPC in North London costs from £89 with EICR Landlord Cert. The fixed price includes the on-site assessment, the certificate itself, the recommendation report, and lodgement on the official EPC register. There are no surcharges for properties in the area and no hidden fees. We always confirm the cost before booking.
An EPC is valid for 10 years from the assessment date. Annual renewal is not required. However, if you have upgraded the boiler, added insulation, or improved windows, a new assessment will reflect the higher rating. North London landlords should verify their EPC is still current before re-letting or selling a property.
A minimum rating of Band E is required under MEES 2018. Properties rated Band F or Band G cannot be let unless the landlord has registered a valid exemption on the PRS Exemptions Register. Penalties of up to £5,000 apply for letting a property below the minimum standard without a registered exemption.
The assessor examines wall construction, insulation levels, window types, the heating system, hot water provision, and lighting throughout the property. Room dimensions are measured and recorded. All data goes into approved SAP software to produce the energy efficiency rating. A recommendation report listing potential improvements is generated alongside the certificate.
A domestic assessment for a flat in the area usually takes between 45 and 90 minutes. Larger properties need more time because there are more rooms to measure and more building elements to record. The assessor needs access to every room, the loft if applicable, and the boiler. Your certificate is produced once the assessment is complete.
No. The Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012 require a valid EPC to be available from the point the property is first marketed. Trading standards can fine landlords up to £5,000 for non-compliance, and the major property portals will not accept a listing without a valid energy performance certificate in place.
You cannot legally let it under MEES 2018 unless you register a valid exemption on the PRS Exemptions Register. Available exemptions include the cost cap exemption, where the required works would exceed £3,500, and the consent exemption, where a tenant or planning authority has refused permission. Without a valid exemption, you must raise the rating to Band E.
Follow the recommendations listed on your current certificate. Typical improvements include upgrading to a condensing boiler, adding loft or wall insulation, installing double glazing, and switching to energy-efficient LED lighting. Even modest changes can shift a property from Band E to Band D. Our assessors advise on the most cost-effective options for your specific property.
Search the official EPC register on the government website using your property address or postcode. The register is publicly accessible and shows the current rating, expiry date, and recommendation report. If your property in the area does not have a valid EPC, or the certificate has expired, contact EICR Landlord Cert to arrange a new assessment.
