What is an EPC?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates your property's energy efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It's a legal requirement in England and Wales whenever you sell, rent, or build a property.
- Legally required: You must have a valid EPC before marketing a property for sale or rent. Failure to provide one can result in a fine of up to £5,000.
- Valid for 10 years: Once issued, your certificate lasts a decade. No need to renew unless you want an updated rating after improvements.
- Includes recommendations: Every EPC comes with practical suggestions to improve your rating, from loft insulation to upgraded boilers.
- Registered on a public database: Your certificate is lodged on the government's EPC register within 24 hours of assessment.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about our services in Barking
Properties in Barking
Barking is an East London town undergoing significant regeneration, with new riverside developments complementing its established residential streets. The housing stock includes 1930s terraces, post-war council estates, and a growing number of modern apartments. The area has a large rental market serving commuters on the District and Hammersmith lines.
Common property types
- Becontree Estate terraces: The world's largest council estate, built between 1921 and 1935. These two and three-bedroom terraced houses with rendered walls, cavity construction, and hipped roofs form the backbone of Barking's housing. Many are now privately owned and rented out.
- Post-war council blocks: Tower blocks and low-rise estates from the 1950s-70s around Barking town centre. Concrete panel construction with flat roofs and older heating systems. Many flats have been purchased under right-to-buy.
- New riverside apartments: The Barking Riverside development is adding thousands of new homes along the Thames. These modern apartments achieve B or C ratings as standard, with efficient heating and good insulation levels.
- Victorian terraces near the station: A smaller pocket of Victorian terraced housing close to Barking station, with solid brick walls and typical period features. These score similarly to Victorian housing across London, typically D or E.
Typical EPC issues we find in Barking
- Unfilled cavity walls on the Becontree: Many Becontree Estate houses still have empty cavity walls. The rendered exterior makes it difficult to determine cavity fill status visually, and a borescope inspection during the EPC survey clarifies this. Filling empty cavities is the most impactful improvement.
- Back boilers behind gas fires: A significant number of Barking properties still have back boilers, which are very inefficient by modern standards. Replacing with a modern combi or system boiler dramatically improves the EPC rating.
- Electric heating in tower blocks: Council tower blocks around Barking often use electric heating, which scores poorly on EPCs. Converting to gas is not always possible in high-rise buildings, limiting improvement options.
