EPC Kennington
Looking for an EPC in Kennington? Get in touch with a local accredited energy assessor to check when they are free, confirm the cost and arrange a visit.
An EPC records a property's energy efficiency and assigns a band from A to G, along with recommendations for improvement. One is normally needed before a home can be advertised for sale or rent.
Like most parts of the country, Kennington has a varied housing stock — a mix of older and character homes alongside more modern properties. EPCs are commonly required for terraced, semi-detached and detached houses as well as flats and recent developments.
What the assessor looks at
During the visit the assessor inspects the property and records details that affect its energy performance, 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
- windows and glazing
- lighting
- any energy efficiency upgrades you have evidence of
This information feeds into the final rating and a list of recommended improvements. Period or non-standard homes can take slightly longer to assess, so let the assessor know about any quirks in advance.
Booking an EPC in Kennington
