EPC Merton

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

An Energy Performance Certificate summarises how energy efficient a home is, scoring it from A down to G. In most cases a valid EPC must be in place before a property is marketed to buyers or tenants.

Homes in Merton 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

A qualified assessor visits the property and gathers the information needed to produce the certificate, looking at things like:

  • 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
  • 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.

How quickly can I book an EPC in Merton?

If you are selling or letting in Merton, 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 Merton

Rental homes in Merton need a valid EPC before they are marketed, and the certificate is the starting point for meeting the landlord MEES requirements. Beyond compliance, it flags the improvements most likely to raise the property's efficiency.

EPCs for homeowners selling a property

When selling a property in Merton, 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 Merton

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

3,399EPCs reach their 10-year expiry in the next 12 months
Band CThe most common rating, on 51% of certificates
44%Rated D or below, against 46% nationally
£789Average 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 Merton rates

Share of the 25,858 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

50% of the certificates lodged here are for flats and maisonettes, where houses lead nationally. The average floor area is 83.6m², about the England and Wales average. Estimated heating costs average £789 a year, £150 a year below the national figure. 41% of certificates were lodged for rented homes.

Radon in Merton

Merton 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 Merton centre show 14 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 Merton

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.
