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.

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

EPCs are valid for 10 years from the date of issue. If you’ve made significant energy upgrades or plan to list your property again, it’s worth getting an updated assessment.

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.

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.

EPC Canterbury – Local Expertise Across Historic and Modern Homes

From the soaring spires of Canterbury Cathedral to the historic charm of Westgate Towers and Gardens, St Augustine’s Abbey, and St Martin’s Church, Canterbury is a city steeped in history. Its rich heritage is woven into the architecture, from the ancient buildings of The King’s School to the patchwork of Georgian terraces, post-war estates, and modern eco-homes that surround them.

Wincheap, Canterbury CT1

One recent EPC assessment carried out in the heart of Canterbury illustrates the level of care and expertise Hive EPCs brings to older, more complex properties. This particular home, located in the well-known St. Dunstan’s area, featured multiple historic extensions and an original roof room. Due to its age and layered construction, the property presented a number of challenges that required a detailed and methodical approach. With a target rating of Band E, careful consideration was given to insulation, heating controls, and accurate recording of construction details. Thanks to the additional time spent on-site and attention to nuance, the property successfully met its target EPC rating—ensuring compliance for its owners while maintaining the character of the home.
