Types of Flats We Assess in the City of London
Purpose-Built Apartments
The City of London has seen significant residential development in recent years. Purpose-built apartment blocks in EC2 and EC3 are popular with professionals working in the financial district. Each flat is assessed individually based on its specific construction characteristics, floor level and heating systems.
Warehouse and Commercial Conversions
EC1 in particular contains a significant number of former commercial and warehouse buildings converted to residential use. These properties can have unique construction characteristics including solid walls, exposed brickwork and non-standard heating arrangements. Our assessors are experienced with these property types.
Period Conversions
Converted Victorian and Edwardian buildings are found across EC1 and EC4. These properties often feature solid wall construction and older building services. The EPC assessment considers the available evidence for each individual flat.
Serviced and Mixed-Use Residential
Parts of EC2 and EC3 contain mixed-use developments where residential flats sit above commercial premises. Our assessors are familiar with the complexities of assessing flats within mixed-use buildings.
Do City of London Flats Require an EPC?
Yes, in most circumstances. A valid EPC is generally required when a flat in the City of London is marketed for sale or let. This applies to leasehold flats, share-of-freehold properties and buy-to-let apartments across EC1, EC2, EC3 and EC4.
If a valid EPC already exists and remains within its 10-year validity period, a new assessment may not be required immediately.

Landlords renting residential flats in the City of London must ensure their properties meet Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES). Under current regulations, privately rented residential properties in England must hold a valid EPC with a minimum rating of E.
