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, 72 hours standard, or next day for £12 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.
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.
