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.

Very professional, communicated prior to visit and offered consultancy on how to improve the energy rating and provided the EPC on the same day! Highly recommend the service.
Very professional and got report done on same day.
Great service from start to finish. I booked a floor plan and EPC, and the whole process was smooth and professional. Everything was completed quickly and the communication was clear throughout. Very happy with the service and would definitely recommend.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about our services in Downham
Properties in Downham
In London Borough of Lewisham, Downham is known for the 1920s and 30s LCC cottage estate. The area is mostly made up of 1930s semi-detached houses and post-war estate housing, and every property needs a valid EPC before it can be marketed for sale or rent. The road links from Swanley make it an easy area for us to reach.
Common property types
- 1930s semi-detached houses: A large share of Downham's housing dates from the interwar years, mostly bay-fronted semis with cavity walls that may or may not have been filled. Where the cavity hasn't been insulated, it's usually the single best value improvement available.
- Post-war estate housing: Post-war estate homes around Downham are sometimes built from concrete or timber frame rather than traditional brick, and a number still have electric storage heaters instead of gas central heating, which has a real effect on the rating.
Typical EPC issues we find in Downham
- Under-insulated lofts: Loft insulation below the recommended 270mm depth turns up regularly in Downham, particularly in homes that haven't had any energy upgrades since they were built. It's one of the cheapest fixes on the list.
- Electric storage heating: Some of the post-war housing in Downham was fitted with electric storage heaters rather than gas central heating. They cost more to run and tend to score lower on an EPC than an equivalent gas-heated home, even where insulation is decent.
- Uninsulated ground floors: Suspended timber or solid concrete ground floors with no insulation are common in the older parts of Downham. It's easy to overlook but it does factor into the overall heat loss figure.
