Need an EPC certificate in Harrow? Whether you’re selling a 1930s semi in North Harrow, letting a flat in Wealdstone or renting out a shop on Station Road, you need a valid Energy Performance Certificate before the property goes on the market. We make it quick and easy. An accredited energy assessor visits, completes the EPC survey and lodges your certificate on the government register, usually within 24–48 hours.
We work with homeowners, landlords, estate agents, letting agents and businesses across the London Borough of Harrow. Prices start from just £65, with no hidden extras.
An energy performance certificate shows how energy efficient a property is. It gives an EPC rating from A (very efficient) to G (very inefficient), much like the coloured label on a new washing machine. It also estimates heating and lighting costs and suggests improvements that could cut bills and raise the rating.
With energy prices still high, buyers and tenants in Harrow pay close attention to EPCs. A strong rating can help your property attract more interest and sell or let faster.

Harrow grew rapidly between the wars, and that shapes how its homes perform today. Here’s what we typically see:
Because we assess these homes regularly, we know what evidence to look for. For instance, an insulated loft conversion or a cavity wall guarantee can noticeably lift the score.
Harrow has a large number of converted and purpose-built flats. Every self-contained flat that’s sold or let needs its own EPC, even if it shares a building with others. Landlords with several flats in one block can book them together, which saves time and often money.
If you let property in Harrow, the rating matters as much as the certificate. Currently, privately rented homes in England and Wales must have an EPC rating of at least E under the minimum energy efficiency standard. Letting an F or G-rated property without a registered exemption can lead to fines of up to £5,000.
Standards are rising, too. The government has confirmed that private rentals in England must reach EPC C by 1 October 2030. So if your Harrow rental is rated D or E today, it’s worth planning upgrades now. Our assessor will point out the improvements that give the best value.
An EPC survey is quick and non-intrusive. Most Harrow homes take 30–60 minutes. During the visit, our domestic energy assessor will:
There’s no need to move furniture. Just make sure the assessor can reach the loft hatch and the boiler.
Top tip: have paperwork ready for anything hidden. Cavity wall guarantees, loft insulation receipts, boiler manuals and FENSA window certificates can all improve your EPC rating.
Selling or letting a shop, office or restaurant? You’ll need a commercial EPC. It covers heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting in more detail than a domestic assessment. Every building is different, so we quote individually after a quick conversation about size and use.
