If you're selling or letting a flat in London, obtaining an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement. Not only does it ensure compliance with UK regulations, but it also affects your ability to market your flat, set rental prices, and meet minimum energy efficiency standards (MEES).
At Fraser Bond, we offer fast, compliant EPC certification services across London, helping landlords and sellers meet legal obligations and improve energy ratings through expert guidance and upgrade strategies.
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates the energy efficiency of a property on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It also includes:
Estimated energy costs
Potential savings
CO₂ emissions
Recommendations for improving efficiency
The EPC is valid for 10 years and must be ordered before a flat is listed for sale or rent.
You need an EPC if you're:
Letting your flat to tenants
Selling your flat
Refinancing or remortgaging
Applying for HMO or selective licensing (in some boroughs)
Undertaking certain renovations or conversions
Failure to provide a valid EPC when required can result in fines up to £5,000.
Under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES):
From April 2020, all rental properties (including flats) must have a minimum EPC rating of E.
Properties rated F or G cannot be legally let, unless exempt.
The UK government plans to raise this threshold further in the coming years, possibly to C by 2028, making early upgrades a smart investment.
