Why New Build EPC Renewals Are Increasing

EPC certificates normally remain valid for 10 years. Many London apartments first assessed when they were newly built, sold or initially let between 2012 and 2015 may now have EPCs that are expired or approaching expiry.

This is becoming increasingly important for landlords, leaseholders, estate agents, managing agents and investors preparing a property for sale, tenancy, remortgage or refinancing.

Do New Build Flats Need EPC Renewals?

Yes, a new-build flat may need an EPC renewal if the existing certificate has expired or if an updated certificate is required for a sale, letting or refinancing process.

Many new-build properties achieved strong EPC ratings when first constructed, but once the original certificate expires, a new assessment may be needed before the property can be marketed again.

London Developments Reaching EPC Renewal Age

Many apartments built or first assessed between 2012 and 2015 may now require EPC checks or renewals. This can apply to apartments in major London development areas such as:

• Canary Wharf and Docklands
• Royal Arsenal Riverside
• Beaufort Park
• Colindale Gardens
• Paddington Basin
• Imperial Wharf
• Stratford and East Village
• Greenwich Peninsula
• Nine Elms
• Royal Docks
• Woolwich Riverside
• Wembley Park

If your EPC was issued when the property was first built, sold or let, it is worth checking the expiry date before marketing the property.

EPC Renewals for Landlords and Buy-to-Let Investors

Landlords commonly require a valid EPC before marketing a property for rent unless a valid exemption applies. For buy-to-let apartments, an expired EPC can cause delays when arranging a new tenancy, renewing documentation or preparing a property for sale.

EPCRATE supports private landlords, portfolio landlords, property investors and build-to-rent operators with EPC renewal assessments across London.

Managing Agent and Apartment Block EPC Renewal Programmes

Managing agents and block managers often need to coordinate EPC renewals for multiple apartments within the same development. EPCRATE can assist with grouped assessments where several property owners, landlords or investors require updated EPCs in the same building or local area.

Grouped appointments can reduce administration time, improve access planning and help property professionals manage EPC expiry dates more efficiently.

Bulk EPC Discounts for New Build Developments

EPCRATE offers bulk EPC support for landlords, estate agents, letting agents, managing agents, developers and investors who need multiple assessments completed together.

Bulk EPC discounts may be available for:

• Multiple flats in one development
• Apartment block EPC renewal programmes
• Managing agent renewal projects
• Portfolio landlord EPC renewals
• Estate agent instruction batches
• Letting agent tenancy preparation
• Build-to-rent portfolios
• Investor-owned apartment groups

Bulk pricing depends on property type, quantity, location, access arrangements and whether inspections can be grouped efficiently. Standard pricing applies to individual bookings unless bulk pricing is agreed in advance.

Draft EPC Review for New Build Flats

EPCRATE offers a Draft EPC review service, helping property owners understand recommendations and review available evidence before final lodgement where possible.

This can be especially useful for modern apartment buildings where heating systems, communal services, glazing specifications, ventilation systems, solar technology or construction details may not be obvious during inspection.

Evidence That May Help a New Build EPC Assessment

Useful evidence may include building specifications, developer handover documents, heating system records, Building Regulations documentation, installation certificates, solar panel documentation, heat pump records, communal heating information or managing agent technical packs.

Where improvements or specifications cannot be evidenced, EPC assessments must follow approved methodology and assessment conventions. No specific EPC rating improvement can be guaranteed because results depend on the property, evidence and approved methodology.

Common New Build EPC Renewal Issues

Modern apartments can involve assessment details that are different from traditional houses. Common issues include communal heating systems, district heating, mechanical ventilation, comfort cooling, specialist glazing, roof position, floor position and limited access to technical specifications.

Having relevant documents ready before the appointment can help the assessment reflect available information accurately where permitted by EPC methodology.

Commercial EPCs for New Build Mixed-Use Developments

Many modern developments include commercial units such as shops, offices, restaurants, gyms, medical premises and mixed-use spaces. Commercial EPC assessments can be arranged through trusted accredited partners, with pricing from £180 depending on building size and complexity.
