EPC Hendon

Booking an EPC in Hendon is straightforward — speak to a local accredited energy assessor to check their availability, agree a price and arrange the assessment.

An Energy Performance Certificate rates a property's energy efficiency on a scale from A at the top to G at the bottom. A valid EPC is normally required before a house or flat is put up for sale or let.

Homes in Hendon range from older terraced and period properties through to more recent developments, so EPCs are needed for a wide mix of house types — terraces, semi-detached and detached houses, converted flats and newer builds.

What happens during the assessment

The assessment is a straightforward survey in which the assessor records the property's key characteristics, including:

  • the size and layout of the home
  • property age and construction type
  • the heating system and its controls
  • insulation
  • any renewable technologies such as solar panels
  • lighting
  • windows and glazing
  • energy efficiency upgrades and paperwork

From this the assessor works out the EPC band and prepares a report of recommendations. Larger or converted properties may take a little more time, so it is worth flagging anything unusual when arranging the visit.

Booking an EPC in Hendon

If you are selling or letting in Hendon, it is worth arranging the EPC as early as possible. Estate agents often ask for it before a property is advertised, and booking ahead reduces the risk of the certificate holding up a sale or tenancy.

Landlords in Hendon

If you let property in Hendon, a valid EPC is required before the home is advertised, and it helps you check the property against the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards. The recommendations can also point to practical upgrades — insulation, glazing or heating controls — that improve the rating.

Selling a home in Hendon

When selling a property in Hendon, an EPC is generally required before it goes on the market. Booking it ahead of time avoids last-minute delays, and the recommendations may point to low-cost ways to improve the rating.

EPC data for Hendon

Figures below are for Barnet, the local authority covering Hendon, from the Energy Performance of Buildings Register to 2026 Q2.

6,525EPCs reach their 10-year expiry in the next 12 months
Band CThe most common rating, on 47% of certificates
46%Rated D or below, against 46% nationally
£851Average estimated heating cost a year

That expiry count is certificates lodged ten years ago and now coming up for renewal. Some of those homes have already been re-certified since, which authority-level data cannot show, so treat it as the ceiling rather than a to-do list.

How Barnet rates

Share of the 53,722 certificates lodged in the five years to 2026 Q2. This is the certificates lodged, not a survey of every home in the area.

What gets assessed around here

59% of the certificates lodged here are for flats and maisonettes, where houses lead nationally. The average floor area is 84.1m², about the England and Wales average. Estimated heating costs average £851 a year, £88 a year below the national figure. 51% of certificates were lodged for rented homes, a notably high share, so Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards bite harder here.

Radon in Hendon

Hendon sits in the lowest radon band. The UKHSA and British Geological Survey estimate that less than 1 in 100 homes in the 1km square covering the town centre reach the radon action level of 200 becquerels per cubic metre. Radon is not part of an EPC survey and does not affect the rating. At this level it is not usually a concern, though individual homes can still vary. The atlas is indicative and works to a 1km grid, so it describes the area rather than any one property.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Planning records published for the area within a mile of Hendon centre show 3 conservation areas, 49 listed buildings and 7 article 4 direction areas. That matters for an EPC in two ways. A listed building is normally exempt from needing one where meeting the minimum energy requirements would unacceptably alter its character or appearance, though the exemption is not automatic and the decision rests with the owner on advice. And in conservation areas and article 4 areas the improvements an EPC recommends, replacement glazing or external wall insulation in particular, often need consent before they can be carried out. Your assessor will record what is actually there; the consent question is one for the council.

What an EPC costs in Hendon

An EPC around here generally costs between £90 and £195, though it depends on the property: floor area, whether there are rooms in the roof, extensions, and how far the assessor travels all move the price. We are not a panel and we do not set anybody's fees, so the figure you are quoted comes from the assessor doing the work. Contact one above for a price on your property.
