For Home Sellers
EPCs for Selling Your London Home
An EPC is required by law before your property goes on the market. We provide fast, transparently priced certificates so your sale isn't held up — lodged within 72 hours as standard, or next day for £15 extra.
Why You Need an EPC to Sell
An EPC is legally required before any residential property is marketed for sale in England and Wales. It must be commissioned before your property is advertised and provided to potential buyers on request.
You can book directly with us, often faster and cheaper than an agent-arranged panel provider, and if you work in property, estate and letting agents can partner with us for all their listings.
Legal requirement
You must have an EPC commissioned before your property is marketed for sale in England and Wales, and your estate agent cannot legally list it without one.
Buyers care about efficiency
With rising energy bills and tighter mortgage criteria, more buyers now factor EPC rating into offers. A better rating supports your asking price.
Don’t hold up your sale
Conveyancing solicitors will ask for the certificate early. Our 72-hour standard delivery (or 24-hour express) keeps your timeline on track.
How Your EPC Affects Your Sale
EPC ratings are now front-and-centre on Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket listings. With energy costs and lender stress-testing in the spotlight, more buyers consider efficiency before making an offer.
A higher rating signals lower running costs, which can support your asking price and reduce time on market. A lower rating doesn’t stop a sale, but it gives buyers a reason to negotiate down. The improvement recommendations on your certificate give you a roadmap if you want to push the rating up before relisting.

Seller Questions
EPC FAQs for Home Sellers in London
Before. You must have commissioned an EPC before your property is marketed for sale — estate agents cannot legally advertise your home on Rightmove, Zoopla or any portal without one. Booking it early means nothing delays your listing going live.
Either works, but booking directly is often faster and cheaper than an agent-arranged panel provider. You keep control of the timing and can have the certificate ready the moment you instruct your agent.
Increasingly, yes. With higher energy bills and tighter mortgage stress-testing, more buyers factor the EPC rating into their offers. A better rating can support your asking price and speed up the sale, while a poor one gives buyers a reason to negotiate down.
It depends on your timeline. Cheap quick wins like LED lighting and topping up loft insulation can lift the rating before you list. If you need to move fast, selling as-is is perfectly fine — the improvement recommendations on your certificate simply pass to the buyer.
Yes, as long as it is still within its 10-year validity. The certificate is tied to the property, not the owner. If it has expired, or you have made significant changes since, you will need a fresh assessment before marketing.
