Why Do Homeowners and Landlords in Tenterden Need One?

In England, all landlords must provide an EPC when renting out their property. This helps potential tenants understand how much they can expect to spend on their bills each month, as well as any potential savings they could make if they choose to take advantage of any recommended improvements listed in Part B of their EPC. For buyers, an EPC helps them understand exactly what they are buying into—whether it’s a well-insulated home with low running costs or one that requires more work before it can be considered energy-efficient. In addition, most mortgage lenders require buyers to have an up-to-date EPC before providing them with a loan for their purchase—so getting one is essential if you plan to buy or rent out your home in Tenterden!

Government Regulations

In Tenterden, all residential properties need to have an up-to-date Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) before they can be sold or rented out. Government regulations state that these certificates must be no more than 10 years old when they are presented to prospective buyers or tenants. Additionally, all properties must meet certain minimum requirements in order to pass the assessment process and receive their certificate. These requirements include adequate insulation levels and the installation of low-energy lighting fixtures throughout the property.

EPC data for Tenterden

Figures below are for Ashford, the local authority covering Tenterden, from the Energy Performance of Buildings Register to 2026 Q2.

1,881EPCs reach their 10-year expiry in the next 12 months
Band CThe most common rating, on 49% of certificates
46%Rated D or below, against 46% nationally
£976Average 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 Ashford rates

Share of the 15,411 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

67% of the certificates lodged here are for houses. The average floor area is 90.9m², roughly 6m² larger than the England and Wales average. Estimated heating costs average £976 a year, £37 a year above the national figure. 21% of certificates were lodged for rented homes.

Radon in Tenterden

Tenterden 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 Tenterden centre show 2 conservation areas, 158 listed buildings and 1 article 4 direction area. 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 Tenterden

An EPC around here generally costs between £70 and £170, 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.

What to expect when a Domestic Energy Assessor comes to your property
