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 Kensington
Properties in Kensington
Kensington is one of London's most architecturally distinctive areas. Grand stucco-fronted houses line the garden squares around Kensington and Holland Park, while Notting Hill has its famous coloured terraces. Many properties have been converted into flats, and the area spans everything from palatial 6-bedroom houses on Holland Park Avenue to compact studio conversions off Kensington Church Street.
Common property types
- Stucco-fronted Victorian villas: Grand 4-6 bedroom houses around Holland Park, Campden Hill, and the garden squares. Solid brick with stucco render, high ceilings, and large sash windows. Many now divided into flats. Typically rated E or D as whole houses.
- Notting Hill painted terraces: The famous colourful terraces along Portobello Road and the surrounding streets. Solid brick, 3-4 storeys, many converted into maisonettes and flats. Usually rated D or E.
- Mansion blocks: Purpose-built apartment blocks from 1890-1930 on Kensington High Street, Earls Court Road, and surrounding streets. Solid construction with communal areas, typically rated D or E.
- Mews houses: Small 2-3 bedroom houses in the cobbled mews behind the main streets. Originally built as coach houses, now highly desirable. Compact size can help ratings, but solid walls and limited insulation options keep most at D.
Typical EPC issues we find in Kensington
- Listed building restrictions: Many Kensington properties are Grade II listed or in conservation areas, severely limiting what energy improvements can be made. External insulation is almost never permitted, and window replacements require like-for-like timber sashes.
- High ceilings and large volumes: The generous ceiling heights in Victorian and Georgian Kensington properties (often 3m or more) mean larger volumes to heat. This increases heat demand and lowers EPC ratings compared to modern properties.
- Basement flat issues: Converted basement flats in Kensington houses often have solid walls below ground level with no insulation and potential damp issues. These flats frequently rate E or F.
- Complex leaseholder arrangements: Many Kensington properties are leasehold flats in converted houses. Improvements to shared elements like windows, roofs, and external walls require freeholder consent, limiting what individual leaseholders can do.
