Why You Need an EPC

There are several reasons why you might need an EPC for your home or commercial property in Hertsmere.

If you’re selling your property, prospective buyers will want to see an up-to-date EPC so that they can get an idea of how energy efficient it is. This can be important for two reasons: firstly, because more energy-efficient homes tend to sell for more money; and secondly, because buyers may be able to apply for government grants or other financial incentives to help them improve the energy efficiency of their new home.

If you’re renting out your property, your tenants will also need to see an up-to-date EPC so that they know what they’re getting into in terms of energy bills. In some cases, landlords are required by law to make certain improvements to the energy efficiency of their properties before they can be rented out; an EPC can help identify any necessary improvements.

EPC data for Hertsmere

Figures below are for the Hertsmere local authority area, from the Energy Performance of Buildings Register to 2026 Q2.

1,814EPCs reach their 10-year expiry in the next 12 months
Band CThe most common rating, on 51% of certificates
42%Rated D or below, against 46% nationally
£984Average 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 Hertsmere rates

Share of the 11,580 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

54% of the certificates lodged here are for houses. The average floor area is 93.8m², roughly 9m² larger than the England and Wales average. Estimated heating costs average £984 a year, £45 a year above the national figure. 39% of certificates were lodged for rented homes.

Radon in Hertsmere

Hertsmere 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 Hertsmere centre show 2 conservation 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 Hertsmere

An EPC around here generally costs between £80 and £185, 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.
