Frequently asked questions
An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is a legal requirement when you sell or let a property in Hillingdon. It rates your home's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and provides recommendations for improvements. The certificate is valid for 10 years and helps buyers and tenants understand the property's running costs.
The average EPC rating in Hillingdon is D. However, around 60% of properties in the area fall below EPC C, meaning many homes have room for energy efficiency improvements. If your property is rated D or lower, you may want to consider upgrades to make it more attractive to buyers or tenants and reduce energy bills.
Many properties in Hillingdon date from the mid-20th century, and older homes typically have lower EPC ratings due to poor insulation, outdated heating systems, and single-glazed windows. These properties often lack the energy-efficient features of modern builds. The good news is that improvements like loft insulation—the most recommended upgrade locally—can significantly boost your rating and reduce heating costs.
Loft insulation is the most commonly recommended improvement for properties in Hillingdon and is often the most cost-effective upgrade. Other popular improvements include cavity wall insulation, upgrading to a modern boiler, installing double glazing, and improving draught-proofing. These measures can help you move from a D rating towards C or higher.
