FAQs

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates how energy-efficient your property is. It uses a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), and is legally required when selling or renting a home. The certificate also includes recommendations for improving energy efficiency. Our EPC assessment Canterbury for homes helps you know your rating and next steps.

We provide EPCs in Canterbury for all residential property types, from flats and maisonettes to family homes.

Our assessor will check:

Loft insulation
Wall construction and insulation for typical Canterbury construction types
Heating system and controls
Windows and glazing
Hot water cylinder (if present)
Lighting types and ventilation

We do a full walkthrough and use the latest RdSAP 10 software to produce an accurate rating.

The EPC rating is based on estimated energy usage and CO₂ output. It considers how much energy is required to heat and power the home, and how efficiently it’s delivered.

Scores are affected by:

Insulation levels
Heating type and controls
Window efficiency
Windows and glazing
Property size and layout
Available fuels at the property
Building modifications such as extensions and roof rooms

The EPC model includes fuel cost and CO₂ emissions. That means mains gas typically scores better than electric heating, even if both are efficient. It’s one reason many homes with electric radiators score lower than expected. Many home owners and landlords in Canterbury are switching away from gas and the impact on the EPC can be surprising.

We always explain this clearly after the visit so you understand your score and any improvement suggestions.

Yes. In the UK, it’s a legal requirement to have a valid EPC before marketing your home for sale or rent. Estate agents and solicitors will often ask for it early in the process.

Do listed buildings in Canterbury need an EPC rating?
Most listed properties in and around Canterbury still require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) when they’re sold or rented. The key exception is if the recommended energy-saving measures—such as external insulation or modern double glazing—would harm the building’s historic character. An EPC assessment is still worthwhile, because it highlights potential improvements and helps confirm whether an exemption applies.

What should owners of listed homes do next?
Arrange a professional EPC assessment first, then review the recommendations. If any suggested upgrades could alter the property’s heritage features, speak with Canterbury City Council’s conservation team. Where changes aren’t feasible, you can usually register a formal exemption under the government’s Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) to stay compliant while preserving the building’s historic charm.

Yes, we regularly work with landlords, letting agents, and homeowners throughout Canterbury and its surrounding villages. Whether it’s one property or a whole portfolio, we can help.

Generally, no as we conduct a thorough visual inspection at the property in addition to online research — but we do recommend:

Ensuring access to the loft (if applicable). If the property has a loft conversion or roof room access to any eaves and sloping parts could be beneficial if they contain visible insulation
Making sure all rooms are accessible
Having heating/hot water systems visible (boiler cupboard open)
If you have installed any energy saving measures that are not visible (such as solid wall insulation) we would need Installation certificates in order to include. Please see our article entitled Maximising Your EPC Rating for more detailed info
Any work signed off by Canterbury Building Control that is not available on their public web portal would require documentary proof. For example completion certificates for extensions.

In many cases, yes. Adding loft insulation, changing lighting to LEDs, or upgrading heating controls can boost your rating. The EPC does display tailored recommendations however for more complicated scenarios we would recommend our Draft EPC service for your Canterbury property.

Yes private sales do require an EPC?

EPC Broadstairs – Local Knowledge for Every Type of Home

From the iconic Viking Bay and the charming promenade cafés to the Georgian townhouses around Chandos Square and the peaceful streets of St. Peter’s, Broadstairs blends seaside heritage with modern coastal living.
