EPC Kingston upon Hull

Looking for an EPC in Kingston upon Hull? 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.

The housing in and around Kingston upon Hull covers everything from older and period homes to post-war housing and modern estates. That means EPCs are regularly carried out on terraces, semis, detached houses, flats and new-build properties.

Inside the EPC assessment

The assessor carries out a non-invasive survey of the property and notes the features that influence its energy rating, such as:

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

The assessor then uses this information to calculate the rating and produce a recommendation report. Older or unusually laid-out homes can take a little longer, so it helps to mention any unusual features when you book.

How soon can I get an EPC in Kingston upon Hull?

If you are selling or letting in Kingston upon Hull, 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.

EPCs for rental properties in Kingston upon Hull

EPCs when selling in Kingston upon Hull

EPC data for Kingston upon Hull

Figures below are for Kingston upon Hull, City of, the local authority covering Kingston upon Hull, from the Energy Performance of Buildings Register to 2026 Q2.

5,511EPCs reach their 10-year expiry in the next 12 months
Band CThe most common rating, on 55% of certificates
43%Rated D or below, against 46% nationally
£775Average 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 Kingston upon Hull, City of rates

Share of the 46,988 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

65% of the certificates lodged here are for houses. The average floor area is 72.1m², roughly 13m² smaller than the England and Wales average. Estimated heating costs average £775 a year, £164 a year below the national figure. 44% of certificates were lodged for rented homes, a notably high share, so Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards bite harder here.

Radon in Kingston upon Hull

Kingston upon Hull 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 Kingston upon Hull centre show 8 conservation areas and 86 listed buildings. 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 Kingston upon Hull

An EPC around here generally costs between £55 and £150, 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.
