South London landlords letting or selling a property must hold a valid EPC certificate by law. The Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012 require the certificate to be available to prospective tenants before any tenancy agreement is signed. Under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) 2018, your property must score at least Band E to be legally lettable, and non-compliance penalties reach up to £5,000. EICR Landlord Cert arranges EPC assessments across South London from £89 with a fixed price and no hidden fees.
Our assessors hold Elmhurst Energy and Quidos accreditation, and each carries a DBS check and full public liability insurance. We offer same-day assessments 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 remains valid for 10 years.
An energy performance certificate grades your property’s energy efficiency on a scale from Band A (best) to Band G (worst). The assessment evaluates the building fabric, heating system, insulation levels, hot water provision, and lighting to work out how much energy the property consumes. The resulting EPC rating gives prospective tenants a clear indication of likely energy bills and flags where improvements could make a difference.
For landlords, the certificate serves a dual purpose. It satisfies the legal requirement under the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012, and it gives tenants practical information on running costs that directly affects demand. Properties with stronger EPC ratings tend to let more quickly because tenants associate higher ratings with lower bills.
The certificate includes a recommendation report ranking improvements by cost-effectiveness. Common suggestions for properties across the area include boiler upgrades, loft insulation, double glazing, and LED lighting throughout. Even small changes can move a property from Band E up to Band D.
Your EPC rating determines whether you can legally let your property and how energy-efficient it is compared to similar buildings.
Knowing your current rating helps you plan upgrades, set a budget, and stay compliant with 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 EPC assessments across the area.
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 of any kind.
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 South London landlords. Booking your EPC alongside other compliance services in one visit is the most practical way to manage your obligations and reduce overall costs.
Landlords must hold a valid EPC before marketing any property for rent. MEES 2018 sets the minimum at Band E.
Check your EPC rating well before listing any property, because a valid certificate shields you from enforcement action.
The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards apply to every rental property across the area, preventing 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. There is no annual renewal requirement like a gas safety certificate. However, there are good reasons to commission a new EPC before the current one expires.
If you have invested in energy-efficiency improvements such as a new boiler, additional insulation, or upgraded glazing, a fresh assessment will capture the improved rating. Properties at Band C or above let more quickly because tenants link higher ratings to lower running costs. If the government tightens MEES to Band C in the future, a strong rating now positions you well.
The EPC register is publicly accessible, so prospective tenants and buyers can look up the rating before they get in touch. If the certificate is several years old and you have made improvements, getting a new assessment is a worthwhile investment.
A domestic EPC covers residential properties, including flats, houses, maisonettes, and HMO rooms across the area. This is the certificate most landlords will need.
Most domestic assessments in the area take between 45 and 90 minutes depending on the size of the property.
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 business owners in the area and property managers through our qualified assessor network.

Your certificate is produced once the assessment is complete and lodged on the EPC register immediately. We manage the whole process from booking through to certificate delivery.
South 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 unexpected extras on any job
Improving your EPC rating may be required for MEES compliance or to make your property more appealing to prospective tenants.
Our assessors can advise landlords on which improvements will deliver the biggest rating improvement for their specific property.
EPC renewal in the area is needed once the existing certificate reaches its 10-year expiry, or earlier if you want a new rating after carrying out improvements.

An EPC is an Energy Performance Certificate that rates a property's energy efficiency from Band A to Band G. The Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012 require every South 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 South 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 your appointment.
An EPC is valid for 10 years from the date of the assessment. Annual renewal is not required. However, if you have made energy-efficiency improvements such as a boiler upgrade, additional insulation, or new windows, a fresh assessment will reflect the higher rating. South London landlords should check their EPC is current before re-letting or selling.
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 that falls below the minimum standard without a registered exemption in place.
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 is entered into approved SAP software to calculate the energy efficiency rating. A recommendation report listing potential improvements is produced alongside the certificate.
A domestic assessment for a flat in the area usually takes between 45 and 90 minutes. Larger properties require more time, as there are more rooms to measure and more building elements to record. The assessor needs access to every room, the loft space if applicable, and the boiler to note its model and efficiency.
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 impose fines of 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. Exemptions include the cost cap exemption, where the works needed 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 before letting.
Follow the recommendations on your current certificate. Common 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 move 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, the expiry date, and the full recommendation report. If your property does not have a valid EPC or the certificate has expired, contact EICR Landlord Cert to arrange a new assessment.
