How it works
At Hive EPCs, we streamline the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) assessment to ensure a smooth and efficient experience for homeowners and landlords.
Kent Landlords — Are Your Properties MEES Compliant?
All rental properties in Kent must currently achieve EPC Band E or above. From 1 October 2030 this rises to Band C. If any of your properties are rated Band F or G, you cannot legally let them without a registered exemption.
Hive EPCs works with landlords across Kent — from single buy-to-let properties to large portfolios — providing fast, accurate EPC assessments and Draft EPCs from £80 + VAT to plan your route to compliance before 2030. As a small, independent local team based in Herne Bay, we know Kent’s rental housing stock inside out.
Kent landlords — act now before the 2030 Band C deadline.

Why Choose Hive EPCs
We are a trusted local provider delivering EPC Kent services across Canterbury, Ashford, Dover, Folkestone, Thanet (Margate, Ramsgate, Broadstairs, Birchington), Whitstable, Herne Bay, Faversham, and Deal. Choosing Hive EPCs means:
Accurate EPCs Protect Your Sale or Rental
Too often we see EPCs that have been rushed, with key aspects of a property misidentified or overlooked. We also regularly encounter certificates where evidence of age of extensions, loft conversions, or original construction details has not been researched and included, improvements that would otherwise have significantly raised the score.
A properly assessed EPC by a quality, experienced assessor gives you the best chance of maximising your rating. This matters more than ever — it is now widely reported that buyers consider energy efficiency one of the most important factors when purchasing a property.
Hive EPCs ensures every assessment is thorough and reflects all improvements to your property — insulation, glazing, heating systems, solar PV and more. Our certificates are produced using the latest RdSAP 10 methodology, lodged same-day on the UK government EPC register, and backed by our Quidos accreditation. From £80 + VAT, same-day turnaround.
