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 Ilford

How much does an EPC cost in Ilford?
Most Ilford homes are 3-bedroom 1930s terraces, so they fall in our £75 band. Larger houses in Gants Hill or Barkingside are £100 for 4-5 bedrooms. No hidden fees.
Why are there so many EPCs needed in Ilford?
Ilford has one of the highest concentrations of privately rented homes in London, with a large number of HMOs and multi-occupied properties. Every tenancy change and every sale requires a valid EPC, creating consistent demand for assessments across the area.
What EPC rating do 1930s Ilford terraces typically get?
The 1930s terraces common across Ilford, Seven Kings, and Goodmayes usually score D or E. Unfilled cavity walls, thin loft insulation, and boilers over 15 years old are the most common reasons. With targeted improvements, most can reach C.
What are the cheapest EPC improvements for Ilford homes?
Cavity wall insulation is typically the most cost-effective improvement for the inter-war stock. LED lighting throughout the property is very low cost and helps at the margins. Loft insulation top-up to 270mm is another affordable upgrade.
How quickly can you visit Ilford?
Our assessors cover this area and can reach Ilford via the A12 or A118. We cover all of IG1, IG2, IG3, and IG6 including Gants Hill, Seven Kings, Goodmayes, and Barkingside. Same-day appointments are usually available if you book before midday.

Properties in Ilford

Ilford is one of East London's busiest residential areas with a housing stock dominated by 1930s terraces and semis, alongside purpose-built flats and new developments around the Elizabeth Line station. The area has an extremely large private rental sector with high demand.

Common property types

  • 1930s terraced houses: The most common property type in Ilford, found along Cranbrook Road, High Road, and the residential streets throughout. Cavity walls with rendered or brick facades, bay windows, and hipped roofs. Many have been extended and converted into multi-occupancy.
  • Inter-war semi-detached houses: Found in Gants Hill, Barkingside, and the roads north of the town centre. Slightly larger than the terraced stock with side access and larger gardens. Same cavity wall construction with similar EPC characteristics.
  • Purpose-built flats: Low-rise blocks from the 1950s-70s around the town centre, plus newer developments near the station. The older blocks have brick construction and may have communal heating, while newer blocks achieve better ratings.
  • HMOs and multi-occupied houses: A significant number of Ilford's larger houses have been converted into HMOs. These need careful assessment to determine which parts of the building constitute self-contained flats versus rooms in a shared house, as this affects the EPC requirements.

Typical EPC issues we find in Ilford

  • Unfilled cavity walls: Despite widespread cavity wall insulation campaigns, many Ilford terraces and semis still have empty cavities. This is consistently the biggest single improvement opportunity across the area.
  • Rear extensions with poor thermal performance: Many Ilford houses have had kitchen or bathroom extensions added at the rear, often with thin walls and flat roofs with minimal insulation. These drag the overall property rating down.
  • Old boilers in HMOs: Properties converted to HMOs often retain outdated heating systems, with multiple old boilers serving different floors or rooms. The inefficiency of these systems significantly impacts EPC ratings.

Why it matters for Ilford landlords

Redbridge Council operates selective licensing in parts of Ilford, and EPC compliance is checked as part of the process. The high concentration of rental properties and HMOs in the area means demand for EPCs is consistently strong. Letting agents across Ilford High Road require valid certificates before marketing begins.
