What is an EPC?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates your property's energy efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It's a legal requirement in England and Wales whenever you sell, rent, or build a property.
- Legally required: You must have a valid EPC before marketing a property for sale or rent. Failure to provide one can result in a fine of up to £5,000.
- Valid for 10 years: Once issued, your certificate lasts a decade. No need to renew unless you want an updated rating after improvements.
- Includes recommendations: Every EPC comes with practical suggestions to improve your rating, from loft insulation to upgraded boilers.
- Registered on a public database: Your certificate is lodged on the government's EPC register within 24 hours of assessment.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about our services in Borough
Properties in Borough
Borough is one of London's most historic areas with a layered housing stock to match. Georgian terraces survive on Great Suffolk Street and Trinity Street, while Victorian railway cottages and warehouses line the streets near the railway viaducts. Major post-war council estates like the Rockingham Estate and Newington Estate provide social housing, and modern developments at places like One Tower Bridge and Bankside have added high-specification apartments.
Common property types
- Georgian terraces: Found on Trinity Street, Great Suffolk Street, and pockets near St George's Church. Solid brick, 3-5 bedrooms, built 1780s-1830s. Many converted into flats. Typically rated E due to solid walls and high ceilings.
- Warehouse and industrial conversions: Former warehouses and commercial buildings near the railway viaducts and along Bermondsey Street, converted to residential use from the 1980s onward. Ratings range from C to E depending on conversion quality.
- Council estates: The Rockingham Estate, Newington Estate, and other social housing blocks provide a significant proportion of Borough's housing. 1950s-70s concrete construction with variable insulation. Typically rated D to F.
- Modern riverside apartments: Luxury developments along the Thames at Bankside and near Tower Bridge. Built to high standards from the 2000s onward, typically rated B or C.
Typical EPC issues we find in Borough
- Solid walls in Georgian stock: Borough's Georgian terraces have thick solid brick walls that cannot be externally insulated without destroying their character. Internal insulation is possible but requires careful design to avoid moisture problems in these old buildings.
- Variable warehouse conversion standards: Earlier warehouse conversions in the 1980s often prioritised aesthetics over thermal performance, leaving exposed brickwork and single-glazed industrial windows that score poorly on EPCs.
- Concrete panel estate construction: The Rockingham Estate and similar blocks use pre-fabricated concrete panels. External cladding insulation is the main improvement route, requiring block-wide coordination.
- Communal heating in modern developments: Many of Borough's modern apartment blocks use district heating or communal boiler systems. The efficiency of these systems directly affects individual flat EPCs and is outside leaseholders' control.
