An EPC certificate is a legal requirement for any Westminster property being sold, let, or marketed to tenants. Under the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012 and the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) 2018, landlords cannot rent out a property rated below Band E without a valid exemption. Penalties for non-compliance reach up to £5,000. EICR Landlord Cert provides EPC assessments in Westminster from just £89 with fixed pricing and no hidden fees.

An energy performance certificate is the official document that rates a property’s energy efficiency on a scale from Band A (most efficient) to Band G (least efficient). For Westminster landlords, the EPC is needed every time a property is let to a new tenant or marketed for rent. The certificate includes an energy efficiency rating, a current SAP score, and a list of recommendations to improve the property’s performance.
The energy performance certificate is valid for 10 years from the date of the assessment. Westminster properties vary widely in age and construction, from Georgian townhouses to modern apartment blocks, and each type performs differently in an EPC assessment. Your certificate provides a clear picture of how the property currently uses energy and what changes could push the rating higher.
Westminster landlords who receive a Band F or Band G rating will not be able to legally rent the property until improvements are made or a valid exemption is registered. Our accredited energy assessors explain every recommendation and help you understand the most cost-effective upgrades for your Westminster property.
Your EPC rating in Westminster tells you how energy efficient your property is, with Band A being the best and Band G the worst.

An EPC assessment in Westminster is a non-invasive survey carried out by a qualified energy assessor at the property. The assessor measures each room, records wall construction types, checks insulation levels, inspects the heating system and hot water setup, and notes the type of glazing and lighting installed. All of this data is entered into approved software that calculates the property’s energy efficiency rating.
The EPC assessment for Westminster properties usually takes between 45 minutes and one hour. Larger properties or those with complex heating arrangements may take slightly longer.

An EPC certificate, or energy performance certificate, rates a property's energy efficiency from Band A (best) to Band G (worst).

Under the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012, Westminster landlords must have a valid EPC before renting or selling a property.
Yes. Every Westminster landlord must hold a valid EPC before marketing a property for rent or granting a new tenancy. The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards 2018 also require the property to achieve at least a Band E rating. Landlords who rent out a property without a valid EPC face penalties of up to £5,000.
An EPC is valid for 10 years from the date of the assessment. Westminster landlords do not need to renew the EPC until it expires, unless they want an updated rating after making energy improvements. Once the 10-year period ends, a new EPC assessment must be arranged before the property can be re-let.
