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 Forest Gate
Properties in Forest Gate
Forest Gate is defined by its long streets of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many with ornate features and generous proportions. Woodgrange Road forms the high street, while streets like Sebert Road, Hampton Road and Claremont Road feature 3-4 bed terraces with double-height bays and decorative tile paths. The Woodgrange Estate conservation area preserves some of the finest examples. Newer developments have appeared around Forest Gate station as part of Crossrail-related investment.
Common property types
- Victorian terraces on the Woodgrange Estate: The conservation area terraces on Sebert Road, Hampton Road and Claremont Road date from the 1880s-1900s with solid brick walls, double-height bays, decorative tile vestibules and original slate roofs. These 3-4 bed homes typically rate D or E.
- Edwardian houses on Romford Road: Larger properties fronting Romford Road offer 4-5 bedrooms with wider frontages and deeper plots. Built 1900-1914, these have similar solid-wall construction to the terraces but with greater wall exposure, typically rating D or E.
- Converted flats near the station: Many larger houses near Forest Gate station have been divided into 2-4 self-contained flats. Individual unit EPCs vary depending on position, with top-floor flats losing more heat through the roof and ground-floor flats through the floor.
- New-build apartments: Recent developments around the station and along Woodgrange Road, built partly in response to Crossrail investment, feature modern insulation and efficient heating. These typically achieve B or C ratings.
Typical EPC issues we find in Forest Gate
- Solid walls throughout the Victorian stock: The vast majority of Forest Gate's Victorian terraces have solid 9-inch brick walls with no cavity. This is the single biggest factor limiting EPC ratings across the area and the most expensive to address.
- Conservation area restrictions: Properties in the Woodgrange Estate conservation area face restrictions on external alterations. External wall insulation, replacement windows and visible changes to the front elevation may require planning permission, limiting improvement options.
- Decorative features limiting internal insulation: Many Forest Gate terraces have ornate ceiling roses, cornicing and picture rails that homeowners wish to preserve. Internal wall insulation would cover or damage these period features, creating a dilemma between energy efficiency and heritage.
- Chimney heat loss: Working and disused chimneys on Forest Gate's Victorian terraces allow warm air to escape continuously. Fitting chimney balloons or capping unused flues is a low-cost measure that reduces draughts and improves both comfort and EPC scores.
