SE15 has some of the most varied housing in South East London — Victorian terraces around Bellenden Road and Nunhead, purpose-built and ex-council blocks, period conversions, and a steady stream of buy-to-let flats. With a lot of rented property in the area, landlords also have the MEES minimum-rating rules to keep in mind, so the EPC result matters beyond just selling.

What we tend to see in SE15 properties
The Victorian terraces around Bellenden and Nunhead are typically solid-wall, so wall insulation only counts where it can be evidenced. In the ex-council and purpose-built blocks, we often find electric storage heaters, which tend to pull a rating down because the EPC is costed on energy use — even when the flat is perfectly comfortable. Where a block has been upgraded to gas or a modern electric system with proper controls, the rating usually improves, provided the controls are visible on the day.
For landlords, the detail worth knowing is that small, evidenced improvements — loft insulation topped up to current depth, or documented glazing — can be the difference between sitting just below and just above the minimum rating. We measure loft depth and note boarding rather than assume it.
The evidence worth having ready
An EPC reflects what can be verified. For SE15 properties, the documents that help most are:
- FENSA or installation certificates for replacement windows.
- Building Control completion notices for extensions, loft conversions or insulation work.
- Insulation guarantees (loft or internal wall) — intention to install is not enough on its own.
- Boiler and heating-control paperwork, and an MCS certificate for any solar or heat pump.

How much is an EPC in Peckham (SE15)?⌄
Domestic EPCs start from £59 next-day. Flats and apartments up to three bedrooms are £57.50 on our current flats offer. Urgent same-day visits are £90, subject to availability.
My SE15 flat has electric storage heaters and a low rating — can it be improved?⌄
Often yes. Electric heating is costed unfavourably on an EPC, but evidenced improvements such as topped-up loft insulation or documented glazing can lift the score. We can show which recommendations would have the most effect for your flat.
What evidence should I have ready for my SE15 EPC?⌄
FENSA certificates for replacement windows, Building Control notices for extensions or conversions, insulation guarantees, boiler paperwork, and an MCS certificate for any solar or heat pump. Where something cannot be evidenced, standard assumptions are used.
