Accredited Domestic Energy Assessors — London & M25

All EPC surveys carried out by Same Day Certificates are completed by fully accredited Domestic Energy Assessors (DEAs). Our assessors are qualified under the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) and are registered with an accreditation scheme approved by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). Every EPC we issue is lodged on the government's official Energy Performance Register, accessible at epcregister.com.

What Is an Energy Performance Certificate?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a mandatory document that rates a property's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It provides , tenants and buyers with an objective assessment of how much energy the property uses and what it costs to heat and light. The EPC also includes a list of recommended improvements and estimates of the savings each measure would achieve.

EPCs are assessed using the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP), which evaluates the property's construction, insulation, heating system, hot water provision, ventilation, and lighting. The certificate reflects the property as built — not how it is occupied — making it an accurate like-for-like comparison tool.

When Is an EPC Required?

An EPC is legally required in England and Wales whenever a property is:

  • Sold — required before the property is listed for sale
  • Let — required before a new tenancy begins
  • Built — required at the construction stage
  • Advertised — the energy rating must appear in all property listings (online, print and paper)
Legal Requirement: From 1 April 2018, all new tenancies require a minimum EPC rating of E. Properties rated F or G cannot legally be let unless a valid exemption is registered on the national PRS Exemptions Register. Fines for non-compliance can reach £5,000 per property. From 2028, the government proposes raising the minimum to C for new tenancies.

EPC Price List — London 2025

Our EPC prices are based on the number of bedrooms in the property. All prices include VAT. The EPC assessment is carried out on-site by an accredited assessor, with the certificate typically issued within 24 hours of the survey.

Property TypePrice inc VAT
EPC — 1 to 3 Bedroom Property£59
EPC — 3 to 5 Bedroom Property£79
Energy Performance Certificate (Commercial)£120
Large or Unusual PropertiesRequest Quote

Understanding EPC Ratings — A to G Scale

EPC ratings are expressed as a letter from A to G and as a numerical score from 1 to 100. The higher the score, the more energy efficient the property.

A
92–100 · Highly Efficient · Typical new-build standard
B
81–91 · Very Efficient
C
69–80 · Good · Government's 2028 rental target
D
55–68 · Average · Most UK homes fall here
E
39–54 · Below Average · Current minimum for renting
F
21–38 · Poor · Cannot legally be let
G
1–20 · Very Poor · Cannot legally be let

What Does an EPC Survey Assess?

During the EPC survey, our accredited assessor will carry out a non-intrusive inspection of the property, assessing the following:

  • Construction and insulation — wall type (solid, cavity, timber frame), loft insulation depth, floor insulation
  • Heating system — boiler type and efficiency, radiators, underfloor heating, controls (thermostat, timer)
  • Hot water system — immersion heater, hot water cylinder insulation, solar thermal
  • Windows and doors — single or double glazing, draught-proofing
  • Lighting — proportion of energy-saving light fittings
  • Renewable energy — solar panels, heat pumps, biomass boilers
  • Ventilation — natural ventilation, mechanical systems

How to Improve Your EPC Rating

If your property has a low EPC rating, there are several cost-effective improvements that can raise your score. The EPC itself lists recommended improvements with estimated costs and savings. Common measures include:

  • Loft insulation — adding 270mm of mineral wool can raise your rating by 4–10 points
  • Cavity wall insulation — typically raises the rating by 5–10 points
  • Boiler upgrade — replacing a G-rated boiler with an A-rated condensing boiler can add 10–20 points
  • Double glazing — replacing single glazing can add 4–8 points
  • LED lighting — switching all lights to LED can add 1–3 points
  • Smart thermostat — programmable room thermostat can add 2–4 points
  • Solar panels — can significantly increase the rating for suitable properties

Commercial EPC Overview

Commercial EPCs are required for all non-domestic buildings being sold, let or modified in England and Wales. The assessment uses a different methodology (SBEM — Simplified Building Energy Model) and is carried out by an accredited Commercial Energy Assessor. Our commercial EPC service covers offices, retail units, warehouses, pubs, restaurants and mixed-use buildings. Learn more about commercial EPCs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an EPC cost in London?+
At Same Day Certificates, our EPC prices are £59 for a 1–3 bed property and £79 for a 3–5 bed property. Commercial EPCs cost £120. All prices include VAT with no hidden fees. We offer the most competitive EPC prices in London.
How long is an EPC valid?+
An Energy Performance Certificate is valid for 10 years from the date of issue. You do not need to renew it during this period unless you have made significant changes to the property that would affect its energy efficiency rating.
What is the minimum EPC rating for a rental property?+
Rental properties in England and Wales must achieve a minimum EPC rating of E or above. Properties rated F or G cannot legally be let unless a valid exemption has been registered. From 2028, the government plans to raise the minimum to C for new tenancies.
Do I need an EPC if my tenant is renewing their lease?+
Generally, if your existing EPC is still valid (less than 10 years old), you do not need a new one for a lease renewal with the same tenant. However, if the EPC has expired, a new one is required before re-letting.
How long does an EPC survey take?+
A domestic EPC survey typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes. The assessor will measure each room, check loft insulation, inspect the heating system and hot water cylinder, assess windows and doors, and review any renewable energy features.
Can I improve my EPC rating before renting?+
Yes. Common improvements include upgrading loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, replacing single glazing with double glazing, upgrading to a more efficient boiler, and installing LED lighting. Our EPC assessors can advise on the most cost-effective improvements for your property.
Who can carry out an EPC assessment?+
Only an accredited Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) can issue a valid EPC. All our DEAs are fully accredited, insured and qualified to carry out assessments in accordance with the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP). EPCs are lodged on the government's national EPC register.
Is a commercial EPC different from a domestic EPC?+
Yes. Commercial EPCs (also called Display Energy Certificates or DECs for public buildings) are assessed differently and are required for all commercial buildings sold, let or built in England and Wales. Commercial EPC surveys are more complex and typically take longer than domestic assessments.

Understanding Your EPC — Complete Guide

How Is an EPC Calculated?

An EPC uses a standardised Government methodology (SAP — Standard Assessment Procedure) to calculate your property's energy efficiency. Our DEA-accredited assessors collect data on the following during their on-site assessment:

  • Construction type — solid or cavity walls, floor and roof insulation levels
  • Glazing — single, double or triple glazing, and window frame type
  • Heating system — boiler type, age and efficiency rating, controls
  • Hot water — hot water cylinder, solar thermal, heat pump
  • Lighting — proportion of low-energy lighting (LED/CFL)
  • Renewable energy — solar PV panels, wind turbines
  • Property dimensions — total floor area and ceiling heights

The SAP calculation produces an energy efficiency score from 1–100. This translates to an energy band: A (92–100), B (81–91), C (69–80), D (55–68), E (39–54), F (21–38), G (1–20). Your certificate also shows an environmental (CO₂) impact rating.

What Can Improve My EPC Rating?

Top Improvements for London Rental Properties:
  • Loft insulation (100mm+) — can improve by 3–8 points
  • Cavity wall insulation — can improve by 4–10 points
  • Upgrade to A-rated condensing boiler — 5–10 points
  • Double glazing throughout — 3–6 points
  • Install room thermostats and TRVs — 2–4 points
  • Switch to LED lighting throughout — 1–3 points
  • Solar PV panels — 10–15 points

Book your EPC now from £59 to understand your current rating and what improvements would be needed.

Commercial EPC — Shops, Offices & Business Premises

Who Needs a Commercial EPC?

A Commercial EPC is required for all non-domestic buildings being sold, let or modified. This includes shops, restaurants, offices, warehouses, factories, and mixed-use developments. The minimum EPC rating for commercial properties being newly let is also band E under MEES for non-domestic buildings.

Commercial EPCs use the Non-Domestic Energy Assessment (NDEA) methodology, which is more complex than the domestic SAP calculation. Our accredited Non-Domestic Energy Assessors (NDEAs) use specialist software (iSBEM or Stroma) to produce fully compliant commercial certificates.

  • All commercial property types covered
  • Display Energy Certificates (DECs) for public buildings
  • Section 6 ESOS compliance reports available
  • Pre-sale and pre-let assessments available
  • All certificates lodged on the national EPC register
