If you need an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) in London, one of the first questions you are likely to ask is how much it will cost.

Whether you are selling a property, renting out a flat, managing a buy-to-let portfolio or arranging compliance documentation for an estate agency client, understanding EPC pricing can help you budget effectively and avoid unexpected costs.

Founded in 2015 by Jino Jose, EPCRATE provides professional EPC assessments across all London boroughs, helping homeowners, landlords, estate agents and property professionals obtain fast and compliant certificates. Call 020 3488 4142 to book.

What Is an EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate measures the energy efficiency of a property and provides a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).

The EPC includes:

  • Current energy efficiency rating.
  • Potential future rating.
  • Estimated energy performance information.
  • Carbon emissions data.
  • Recommended energy efficiency improvements.

Domestic EPCs generally remain valid for 10 years from the date they are issued.

How Much Does an EPC Cost in London?

EPC costs can vary depending on several factors, including property size, location, complexity and whether additional services are required.

At EPCRATE, our standard residential EPC pricing is:

Property Type Price
1 Bedroom Property £59
2 Bedroom Property £69
3 Bedroom Property £79
EPC + Floor Plan Bundle £118

The EPC and Floor Plan Bundle offers a convenient solution for sellers, landlords and estate agents who need both documents for property marketing — saving £20 versus booking separately.

What Affects EPC Pricing?

Several factors can influence the cost of an EPC assessment.

  • Property size.
  • Number of bedrooms.
  • Property complexity.
  • Building layout.
  • Travel requirements.
  • Urgency of appointment.
  • Commercial or residential use.

Commercial EPCs are generally priced differently because assessment requirements can vary significantly depending on building size and usage. Commercial assessments with EPCRATE start from £180.

Is the Cheapest EPC Always the Best Option?

When comparing EPC providers, price is important, but it should not be the only consideration.

Property owners should also consider:

  • Accreditation status.
  • Experience.
  • Turnaround times.
  • Customer reviews.
  • Availability of support.
  • Knowledge of London properties.

Choosing a qualified and experienced assessor can help ensure the property is assessed accurately using the approved methodology. EPCRATE founder Jino Jose holds DEA accreditation and has been assessing London properties since 2015.

Why Property Owners Book EPCs

Property owners commonly arrange EPC assessments when:

  • Selling a property.
  • Renting a property.
  • Managing a buy-to-let portfolio.
  • Preparing marketing materials.
  • Updating property compliance records.
  • Reviewing energy performance.

Many estate agents and landlords choose to arrange an EPC alongside photography and floor plans to simplify the marketing process.

EPC and Floor Plan Bundles

One of the most popular services among London landlords and estate agents is the EPC and Floor Plan Bundle.

Instead of arranging separate appointments, both services can often be completed during a single visit.

Benefits include:

  • One appointment.
  • Reduced administration.
  • Faster property marketing preparation.
  • Cost savings compared with purchasing separately.

For a 2-bedroom property, the EPC and Floor Plan Bundle is available for £118, saving £20 compared with purchasing both services separately.

EPC Costs for Landlords

Landlords often require EPCs when preparing properties for new tenants or updating compliance records. Under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), rental properties must meet minimum EPC requirements — see our landlord licensing and MEES guide for current obligations across London boroughs.

For portfolio landlords and property managers, bulk appointments can provide additional efficiency and cost savings.

EPCRATE offers bulk EPC discounts for landlords, estate agents, letting agents and property management companies across London. Call 020 3488 4142 to discuss portfolio pricing.

EPC Costs for Flats and Apartments

London’s property market includes a large number of flats and apartments.

We regularly assess:

  • Leasehold flats.
  • Purpose-built apartments.
  • Converted Victorian flats.
  • Modern apartment developments.
  • Maisonettes.

Pricing is generally determined by property size and configuration rather than whether the property is a flat or house.

What Happens During an EPC Assessment?

The assessment process is straightforward and non-invasive.

During the inspection, the assessor records information relating to:

  • Property dimensions.
  • Wall construction.
  • Roof construction.
  • Heating systems and controls.
  • Hot water systems.
  • Glazing.
  • Fixed lighting.
  • Insulation where supporting evidence is available.

Supporting documentation such as FENSA certificates, insulation certificates and Building Control records may help ensure qualifying features are recognised appropriately. EPCRATE typically lodges the certificate within 24 hours of the assessment.
