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 Kennington

How much does an EPC cost in Kennington?
Most Kennington flats are 1-3 bedrooms, costing £79 for an EPC. Larger Georgian and Victorian houses along Kennington Park Road and Cleaver Square with 4-5 bedrooms are £115. The bigger townhouses with 6 or more bedrooms cost £140.
Do I need an EPC to let a flat near the Oval?
Yes, all rental properties need a valid EPC rated E or above. The area around the Oval has a mix of Victorian terraces converted into flats and purpose-built blocks, all of which need individual certificates. Demand for rentals is strong here given the transport links.
What affects EPC ratings in Kennington?
The Georgian terraces on Cleaver Square and Kennington Park Road have very thick solid walls and large sash windows with high ceilings, all of which increase heat demand. Victorian properties near the Oval have solid brick walls and bay windows. Council-built flats on the Cotton Gardens estate have concrete construction with limited insulation.
How can I improve the EPC on my Kennington Georgian flat?
Georgian conversions in Kennington are often constrained by listed building status. Secondary glazing behind original sash windows is usually the most impactful permitted improvement. Upgrading the boiler, improving heating controls, and making sure any accessible roof space above the flat is insulated are the practical options. Underfloor insulation can help in ground-floor flats.
How quickly can you visit Kennington?
We cover SE11 and SE17 regularly and can usually visit within 1-2 working days. Kennington is centrally located near the A3 and A23, and we also work in Vauxhall, Camberwell, Brixton, and the Borough area nearby.

Properties in Kennington

Kennington has a rich architectural mix centred on its Georgian and early Victorian terraces. Cleaver Square and Kennington Park Road have some of the finest Georgian townhouses south of the river, while the streets near the Oval feature later Victorian terraces. The area also includes substantial council estates like the Duchy of Cornwall Estate and Cotton Gardens, adding post-war housing into the mix.

Common property types

  • Georgian townhouses: Found on Cleaver Square, Kennington Park Road, and the streets near Kennington Cross. Solid brick with stucco details, 4-6 bedrooms, built 1790s-1830s. Many divided into flats. Whole houses typically rated E, flats D or E.
  • Victorian terraces: The streets around the Oval, Ravensdon Street, and Methley Street have later Victorian terraces from the 1860s-1890s. Solid brick, 3-4 bedrooms, bay windows. Typically rated D or E.
  • Council estates: Cotton Gardens, the Duchy of Cornwall Estate, and other social housing blocks add 1950s-70s flats and maisonettes. Concrete and brick construction with variable insulation. Ratings range from D to F.
  • Converted maisonettes: Many Kennington houses have been split into upper and lower maisonettes. Quality of conversion and subsequent upgrades determine ratings, which typically range from C to E.

Typical EPC issues we find in Kennington

  • Listed building constraints: Many properties around Cleaver Square and Kennington Park Road are listed, severely limiting permitted energy improvements. External insulation, window replacement, and even secondary glazing may require consent.
  • Very high ceilings in Georgian stock: Ceiling heights of 3 metres or more in Kennington's Georgian houses mean large volumes to heat. This significantly affects EPC ratings and heating costs, with limited practical solutions.
  • Solid walls throughout: Virtually all of Kennington's pre-1920 housing has solid brick walls. Internal wall insulation is the only option for most properties, and in listed buildings even this may need consent.
  • Communal heating on estates: Council-built blocks on the Cotton Gardens and Duchy estates often have communal heating of variable efficiency. Individual flat ratings reflect the communal system performance, limiting what residents can do individually.

Why it matters for Kennington landlords

Kennington is a sought-after rental area thanks to its central location and proximity to the Northern and Bakerloo lines. The rental stock is largely converted Georgian and Victorian properties that rate D or E. Landlords should be aware that listed building and conservation area restrictions across much of Kennington limit the improvements available, making it important to understand your property's current rating and what can realistically be done.
