Landlords, Licensing and EPC Requirements
Many landlords require a valid EPC before marketing a property for rent. Depending on the property type and location, landlords may also need to consider selective licensing, HMO licensing and wider housing compliance requirements.
Licensing requirements can change over time, so landlords should always check the latest Barking & Dagenham Council guidance before making decisions.
EPCRATE’s EPC + Floor Plan Bundle at £118 (saving £20 versus booking separately) is widely used by Barking and Dagenham landlords and estate agents managing compliance documentation efficiently.
Studio Conversions and HMO EPCs in Barking & Dagenham
Barking and Dagenham contains a growing number of studio conversions, HMOs and self-contained rental units. Depending on the property layout and occupation arrangements, separate EPCs may be required for individual self-contained units.
EPCRATE offers discounted EPC rates for qualifying studio flat conversions. Where multiple self-contained studio units are assessed during the same visit, EPC assessments may be available from £59 per studio unit.
This discounted rate applies only to qualifying studio conversions within the same building and does not apply to standard one-bedroom flats, larger apartments, individual bookings or separate visits.
Property Sales and Remortgaging
Many homeowners arrange an EPC before selling or remortgaging a property. Estate agents often require EPC information before marketing begins, while lenders may request updated property information during refinancing discussions.
If improvements have been completed since the previous EPC was issued, a new assessment may provide a more accurate reflection of the property’s current energy performance. See our guide: How Long Does an EPC Last in London?
Draft EPC Review and Energy Efficiency Advice
EPCRATE offers a Draft EPC review service, helping property owners understand EPC recommendations and review available evidence before final lodgement where possible.
Many property owners are considering loft insulation, heating upgrades, solar panels and heat pumps. Results always depend on the property, evidence and approved methodology. See our guides: Solar Panels and EPC Rating London and Heat Pumps and EPC London.

Useful EPC Guides for Barking & Dagenham Property Owners
EPC in Barking & Dagenham: what we see on site
Dagenham is defined by the Becontree Estate — one of the largest council-built estates in the world, laid out in the 1920s and 30s — so much of the borough is interwar housing, a great deal of it now privately owned. The good news is that these homes generally have cavity walls, so where they’re unfilled, cavity wall insulation is often the most cost-effective single improvement, alongside topping up loft insulation and modern heating controls. Barking adds Victorian terraces and a large amount of new-build around Barking Riverside, which usually rates higher. Single glazing and older boilers are the common drags. Improvements are indicative, not guaranteed. With a sizeable rented sector, confirm the borough’s current licensing scheme before letting, and see our landlord EPC guide or book an EPC.
