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 Forest Hill
Properties in Forest Hill
Forest Hill offers a combination of period character, open space and affordable property prices that has made it increasingly popular over the past decade. The Horniman Museum and its gardens draw visitors from across south London, and the area's housing market is active with both families buying and landlords investing. With properties ranging from compact terrace flats to substantial detached houses near Sydenham Hill, our assessors encounter the full spectrum of residential construction types in SE23.
Common property types
- Victorian terraces on Stanstead Road: Stanstead Road and its side streets contain rows of two and three-storey Victorian terraces, many divided into flats, which are the most common property type in Forest Hill.
- Edwardian semis near the Horniman Museum: Streets close to the Horniman Museum include larger Edwardian semi-detached properties with original features and generous room heights, requiring thorough measurement.
- Inter-war houses on Sydenham Hill slopes: The upper residential streets towards Sydenham Hill include 1930s semi-detached and detached houses, which typically have cavity walls and better energy performance than their Victorian counterparts.
- Converted flats near Honor Oak Park station: The Honor Oak Park area at the SE23 boundary includes converted Victorian properties and newer purpose-built blocks, with a mix of construction types that we record accurately.
Typical EPC issues we find in Forest Hill
- Split-level properties on sloping streets: Forest Hill's topography means some properties are built into the hillside with partially below-ground floors, which affects the ground floor heat loss calculation.
- Cavity wall uncertainty in Edwardian stock: Properties from the 1900 to 1920 period may be solid or early cavity construction. We identify wall type from physical evidence on site rather than assuming from age alone.
- Inter-war cavity walls without insulation fill: 1930s properties with unfilled cavity walls can often benefit significantly from retrograde cavity fill insulation. We note the insulation status and flag this as a recommendation where applicable.
- Older electric heating in ex-rental stock: Some smaller Forest Hill flats converted in the 1980s and 1990s were equipped with electric panel or storage heaters that remain in place today, typically yielding lower ratings.
