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 Richmond

How much does an EPC cost in Richmond?
Flats and smaller 1-3 bedroom properties in Richmond cost £75 for an EPC. The 4-5 bedroom Edwardian houses common around Kew and the larger townhouses on Richmond Hill cost £100. The substantial detached properties near Richmond Park with 6 or more bedrooms are £125.
Do Richmond's conservation area rules affect my EPC?
Conservation area status doesn't change your EPC obligations. you still need a valid certificate to sell or let. However, it can limit the improvements you can make to boost your rating. In Richmond's extensive conservation areas around The Green and Richmond Hill, replacing original windows or adding external insulation often requires planning consent, so your EPC recommendations may need to be adapted.
What affects EPC ratings in Richmond properties?
Richmond's Georgian and early Victorian townhouses on The Green, Hill Street, and Ormond Road have solid brick walls, original sash windows, and large room volumes that contribute to poor thermal performance. The Edwardian houses around Kew Gardens station on Lichfield Road and Ennerdale Road perform slightly better but still typically rate D. Modern developments near the riverside achieve B or C.
How can I improve my EPC in Richmond?
For Georgian properties on Richmond Hill, options are often limited by conservation restrictions, but upgrading the boiler, improving heating controls, and adding loft insulation all help. In Kew's Edwardian houses, secondary glazing on original sash windows is usually acceptable and makes a noticeable difference. For post-war houses in Ham, cavity wall and loft insulation are the most cost-effective measures.
How quickly can you visit Richmond?
We cover TW9 and TW10 regularly and can usually visit within 1-2 working days. We reach Richmond via the A316 and A307, and our assessors know the parking restrictions around Richmond Green, the town centre, and the Kew area.

Properties in Richmond

Richmond is one of London's most desirable residential areas, and its housing reflects that. Richmond Hill and the streets around Richmond Green contain elegant Georgian and early Victorian townhouses, while Kew has a mix of Edwardian family homes and mansion flats. Ham and Petersham are more suburban, with post-war houses and some large detached properties near the park. The riverside areas have seen modern apartment development in recent years.

Common property types

  • Georgian and early Victorian townhouses: Found around Richmond Green, Hill Street, Ormond Road, and the top of Richmond Hill. Solid brick construction, 3-5 bedrooms, with high ceilings and original features. Typically rated D or E.
  • Edwardian family houses: Common around Kew Gardens station along Lichfield Road, Ennerdale Road, and Sandycombe Road. 3-4 bedroom homes with bay windows and front gardens, usually rated C or D.
  • Post-war suburban houses: Found in Ham and Petersham, including the Lock Road and Ashburnham Road areas. Cavity wall construction from the 1950s-60s, typically 3 bedrooms, rated C or D.
  • Mansion flats and modern apartments: Period mansion blocks near Kew Green and modern developments along the riverside at Petersham Road. Newer builds achieve B ratings; older mansion flats typically D.

Typical EPC issues we find in Richmond

  • Georgian solid wall construction: Richmond's oldest properties around The Green and Hill Street have thick solid brick walls that cannot take cavity insulation. External insulation is rarely permitted in conservation areas, leaving internal insulation as the main option.
  • Listed building constraints: Several properties on Richmond Hill and around Maids of Honour Row are listed, severely limiting permissible energy efficiency improvements including window replacements and wall insulation.
  • Large sash windows: The tall sash windows characteristic of Richmond's Georgian and Victorian properties create significant draughts and heat loss. Secondary glazing offers the best balance between thermal improvement and heritage preservation.
  • Uninsulated suspended timber floors: Many of Richmond's older properties have suspended timber ground floors with ventilated voids beneath, causing cold draughts and heat loss that are often overlooked but can be addressed with insulation between joists.

Why it matters for Richmond landlords

Richmond commands premium rents, attracting professionals and families who value the riverside setting and green spaces. The rental stock includes everything from converted flats in Georgian townhouses to modern riverside apartments. All let properties require a valid EPC at E or above, and landlords of older period properties should plan ahead for improvements, as conservation area restrictions can extend timelines for permitted works.
