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 Highgate

How much does an EPC cost in Highgate?
Highgate has a wide range. Flats and smaller 1-3 bed properties around Archway and Dartmouth Park cost £79. The 4-5 bedroom detached and semi-detached houses on Broadlands Road and Sheldon Avenue are £115. The grand 6+ bedroom properties near the village and along Hampstead Lane cost £140.
Do I need an EPC to sell my house overlooking Waterlow Park?
Yes. You must have a valid EPC before marketing. The properties around Waterlow Park and Highgate village are often substantial period homes with varied EPC ratings. Having the certificate ready before marketing avoids delays, and it gives you the option to make targeted improvements before viewings if the rating is poor.
What affects EPC ratings on Highgate's large period houses?
The Edwardian detached houses on roads like Broadlands Road, View Road, and Southwood Lane have solid brick walls, large floor areas, high ceilings, and extensive glazing. The Georgian properties around South Grove and Pond Square have even older construction with thicker solid walls. These factors combine to produce ratings of D to F despite the properties being well-maintained.
How can I improve the EPC on a Highgate Edwardian house?
The large loft spaces in Highgate's Edwardian properties are ideal for insulation. Upgrading the boiler, fitting smart heating controls with zone valves, draught-proofing original windows, and insulating any accessible suspended floors all contribute. Where planning allows, sympathetic double glazing can make a significant difference to these heavily-glazed properties.
How quickly can you visit Highgate?
We cover N6 and N19 postcodes regularly via Archway Road and Highgate Hill. Highgate is well-connected and we can usually visit within 1-2 working days. Same-day appointments are available for a £20 call-out fee.

Properties in Highgate

Highgate sits on a hilltop ridge with housing ranging from the grandest Georgian properties to modest Victorian terraces. The village area around the High Street and South Grove has listed Georgian houses, while roads like Broadlands Road, Sheldon Avenue, and the Bishop's Wood estate feature large Edwardian and interwar detached properties behind mature gardens. The Highgate New Town estate is a notable 1970s social housing development by Camden Council. Towards Archway and Dartmouth Park, more standard Victorian terraces appear on streets like Dartmouth Park Hill and Cromwell Avenue.

Common property types

  • Georgian village houses: Around Highgate High Street, South Grove, and Pond Square. Some of North London's most historic domestic architecture, often listed. Solid walls, slate roofs, sash windows. Typically rate E or F.
  • Edwardian detached houses: Large family homes on Broadlands Road, Sheldon Avenue, View Road, and the Bishop's Wood estate. Set in generous gardens with Arts and Crafts details. Usually rate D or E.
  • Victorian terraces: Found on the slopes towards Archway along Dartmouth Park Hill, Cromwell Avenue, and Holly Lodge Estate. Standard solid-walled terraces, many converted to flats. Typically rate D to E.
  • Highgate New Town estate: A distinctive 1970s Camden Council development designed by Peter Tabori with staggered brick terraces. Unconventional layout and construction require specific assessment approaches. Ratings vary from C to E.

Typical EPC issues we find in Highgate

  • Conservation area restrictions: Much of Highgate village and surrounding roads fall within conservation areas, limiting visible external changes including window replacement, external wall insulation, and solar panel installation.
  • Topography and exposure: Highgate's hilltop position means properties are more exposed to wind than surrounding low-lying areas. This increases heat loss through walls and roofs, particularly on north-facing elevations along the ridge.
  • Large detached wall areas: Detached houses have four external walls rather than sharing party walls, meaning proportionally more surface area loses heat. This particularly affects the large detached properties on roads like Broadlands Road and View Road.
  • Multiple chimney stacks: Highgate's period houses often have multiple chimney stacks serving fireplaces in every room. Each open or poorly sealed flue acts as an extraction fan, pulling heated air out of the building.

Why it matters for Highgate landlords

Highgate's rental market caters to affluent families and professionals who value the village atmosphere and green spaces. Rental properties tend to be higher-value, and tenants expect quality. Poor EPC ratings on otherwise well-presented properties can raise questions about running costs and maintenance standards. Landlords of period properties should explore permitted energy improvements to maintain the premium positioning.
