Energy Performance Certificates in Putney

Common property types

• Victorian artisan terraces: Compact 2-3 bedroom terraces found on Felsham Road, Disraeli Road, and the streets between Oxford Road and Upper Richmond Road. Solid brick construction with typical EPC ratings of D or E.
• Large Edwardian family houses: Substantial 4-6 bedroom homes on West Hill, Putney Hill, and Carlton Drive, often with generous gardens and period features. Solid walls and high ceilings typically give D ratings.
• Post-war council flats (Alton Estate): The Alton Estate in Roehampton includes slab blocks and point towers built in the 1950s. Concrete panel construction and communal heating often result in D or E ratings.
• Modern riverside apartments: Purpose-built developments at Putney Wharf, along Brewhouse Lane, and on Deodar Road. Built to modern building regulations, these typically achieve B or C ratings.

Typical EPC issues we find in Putney

• Solid wall terraces near the river: The Victorian streets between Putney High Street and Lower Richmond Road have solid brick walls with no cavity for insulation, making external or internal wall insulation the only options for improvement.
• Period features limiting improvements: Many properties on Putney Hill and West Hill sit within conservation areas where external changes to windows and walls require planning permission, restricting the most effective EPC improvements.
• Concrete construction on the Alton Estate: The system-built blocks in Roehampton have non-traditional wall construction that standard cavity wall insulation cannot address, requiring specialist external cladding solutions.
• Communal heating inefficiencies: Flats in older purpose-built blocks along Upper Richmond Road and Putney Heath Lane often rely on ageing communal boiler systems where individual residents have limited control over their heating efficiency.
