Working with agents

Fast, Efficient, Professional – That’s Why Agents Trust Hive EPCs

At Hive EPCs, we’ve built our name on speed, reliability, and professionalism – and that’s exactly why so many estate agents and letting agents across East Kent refer their EPC and floorplan work to us.

We’re 5-star rated on Google, we offer a seamless online ordering system, and our automated document delivery means your clients get their certificates quickly and securely – often the same day.

Estate & Letting Agents Trust Hive EPCs to Represent Them

The majority of our work comes from long-standing relationships with local property agents. Why? Because when agents introduce us to their clients, they know we’ll represent them with the same care and professionalism they would themselves.

Let’s face it – referring the wrong EPC assessor can reflect badly on your agency. Poor service, missed appointments, or incorrect advice can damage your brand. That’s why agents across Canterbury, Whitstable, Herne Bay, Deal, Dover, Folkestone, Ashford, Faversham, and Thanet (including Margate, Ramsgate, Broadstairs, Birchington and Westgate-on-Sea) trust Hive EPCs to deliver every time.

We’re the safe pair of hands your agency needs.

Why Agents Choose Hive EPCs

  • Reliable, polite and professional team
  • Deep technical knowledge of EPCs and floorplans – there’s nothing we can’t handle
  • Extremely responsive – we structure our diary around your team’s and your client’s availability
  • We go the extra mile to improve EPC ratings wherever possible
  • Clear communication with landlords, vendors, buyers and agents

Whether you’re aiming to rent out your property, refinance, or simply future-proof it—our Draft EPC service helps you make the right improvements the first time.

Helping Your Clients Improve Their EPC Ratings

An Energy Performance Certificate is no longer just a tick-box. Buyers now consider EPC ratings when applying for mortgages, and landlords must meet Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) – which are only getting tougher.

That’s why we don’t just issue certificates – we help improve them. We’ll take the time to work with your landlords and vendors, carrying out detailed technical research to maximise the rating of every property we visit. This not only adds value to your clients’ properties, but also positions your agency as one that delivers expert guidance.

With a 5-star Google rating and a track record of getting properties over the line, we’re the go-to EPC provider for landlords who want accuracy, flexibility, and results.

Floorplans and EPCs – All in One Place

Need a floorplan alongside the EPC? We’ve got you covered. With Hive EPCs, agents can order EPCs, floorplans, and full marketing packs through a single online platform, with automated delivery to your inbox.

It’s fast, it’s easy, and it saves your team time.
