What is an EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a certificate that assesses the energy efficiency of buildings. It shows both the energy usage of a building and its carbon footprint. The certificate gives a rating from A (the most efficient) to G (the least efficient). An EPC also includes recommendations on how to improve the energy efficiency of the building and reduce its carbon footprint. The assessment is conducted by qualified professionals using specialist equipment such as thermometers and blower doors.

What Does an EPC Include?

An EPC includes several pieces of information about the property, such as its energy use, environmental impact, carbon dioxide emissions, and cost-effectiveness. The certificate also contains recommendations for improving the energy efficiency of the home or rental unit by providing advice on upgrading insulation, lighting systems, heating systems, etc. It will also provide estimated costs for each recommended upgrade so you can decide which upgrades are worth investing in.

Why Do Homeowners/Landlords in Kingston, KT1 Need an EPC?

If you are looking to buy or rent out a property in Kingston, KT1, it is important to understand its energy efficiency performance as this can help you save money in the long run. An EPC will provide valuable insights into how much money your property will cost to run over time, which can help inform your decisions when it comes to buying or renting out a home or apartment in Kingston. Additionally, if you are looking to make upgrades or improvements to your home, an EPC can provide guidance on how best to do so from both a financial and environmental standpoint.

In addition, under new legislation passed by the UK government in 2018, all rental properties must now have an EPC rating of at least “E” before they can be rented out legally. That means that if you are looking to rent out a property but don’t have an up-to-date EPC certificate for it, then it’s time that you get one!

What Specific Things Does an Assessor Look for When They Visit a Property?

An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) assessor in Kingston, or any location, will typically look for a number of specific things when they visit a property to conduct an energy assessment. Some of these may include:

  1. Property type and size: The assessor will identify the type of property, such as a house, flat, or commercial building, and measure its size in square meters.
  2. Building fabric: The assessor will examine the walls, roof, windows, and doors to assess their construction, insulation, and any potential areas of heat loss.
  3. Heating system: The assessor will examine the type of heating system in place, such as gas or electric, and evaluate its efficiency and age.
  4. Hot water system: The assessor will look at the hot water system in place, such as a boiler or immersion heater, to determine its efficiency and age.
  5. Lighting: The assessor will check the type of lighting used throughout the property, including bulbs and fittings, to determine their efficiency.
  6. Renewable energy sources: The assessor will look for any renewable energy sources used on the property, such as solar panels or wind turbines.
  7. Ventilation: The assessor will check the property’s ventilation system to ensure it is adequate for the size of the property and that it meets building regulations.
  8. Energy usage: The assessor may request to see the property’s energy bills to evaluate its energy usage and identify areas for improvement.

Based on this information, the assessor will provide a rating for the property’s energy efficiency, ranging from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), along with recommendations for improvements to reduce energy usage and costs.

If a certificate was lodged in the last ten years it may still be valid: check an EPC before booking a new one.

EPC data for Kingston

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

2,332EPCs reach their 10-year expiry in the next 12 months
Band CThe most common rating, on 50% of certificates
46%Rated D or below, against 46% nationally
£824Average 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 Thames rates

Share of the 23,173 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 flats and maisonettes, where houses lead nationally. The average floor area is 82.2m², roughly 3m² smaller than the England and Wales average. Estimated heating costs average £824 a year, £115 a year below the national figure. 29% of certificates were lodged for rented homes.

Radon in Kingston

Kingston 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 centre show 20 conservation areas, 365 listed buildings and 35 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 Kingston

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.
