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 Hither Green
Properties in Hither Green
Hither Green developed rapidly after the railway arrived in the 1890s, and the streets built in that period give the area a consistent Edwardian character. Springbank Road, Verdant Lane, and the roads surrounding Mountsfield Park are filled with three- and four-bedroom terraces that were well-built for their time but now show their age in terms of insulation and heating efficiency. The area's stable owner-occupier community means properties are well maintained, but EPC ratings often reflect the original fabric rather than any major retrofit.
Common property types
- Edwardian Terraces: The principal housing type across Hither Green, built between 1895 and 1914 on streets like Springbank Road, typically with four rooms, a bay window, and a rear addition.
- Late-Victorian Semis: Larger semi-detached properties on Verdant Lane and Manor Park date to the 1880s and 1890s and may have solid walls depending on the original specification.
- 1920s and 1930s Semis: A second wave of development during the inter-war years added cavity-walled semis on the outer edges of Hither Green, often with pebbledash renders that conceal the cavity construction.
- Converted Flats: Some of the larger Edwardian houses near Hither Green station have been converted into two flats, each requiring its own separate EPC before sale or let.
Typical EPC issues we find in Hither Green
- No Loft Insulation: Many Hither Green terraces have accessible pitched lofts with inadequate or zero insulation. Adding 270mm of mineral wool quilt is the single most cost-effective measure for most properties.
- Pre-condensing Boilers: Boilers installed before 2005 with efficiency below 78% are still common in the SE13 stock and represent a significant drag on the energy rating.
- Draughty Sash Windows: Original sash windows on Edwardian terraces, even where double-glazed, can have draught issues that the assessor should note during the survey.
- Solid Rear Extensions: The rear additions common on Edwardian terraces often have single-leaf brick walls with no insulation, which contributes to heat loss that the EPC calculation must capture.
