Hackney EPC Assessors
If you're buying, selling or renting a property in Hackney, you'll need an Energy Performance Certificate. This document rates how efficient your home is at using energy, on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). You can't legally complete a property sale or let without one.
Hackney's housing stock is mostly made up of houses built in the mid-20th century. These older properties tend to be less energy efficient than newer builds. The average EPC rating across the area is D, and around 60% of properties fall below a C rating. This means many Hackney homes have room for improvement when it comes to energy efficiency.
The good news is that simple upgrades can make a real difference. The most commonly recommended improvement for properties here is loft insulation. Adding or upgrading insulation in your loft is usually affordable and can significantly reduce heat loss from your home, lowering your energy bills in the process.
You'll find 153 active EPC assessors registered in Hackney on EPCFinder. These qualified professionals can visit your property, assess its energy efficiency, and provide you with an official certificate. The assessment takes around an hour and covers things like insulation, heating systems, windows and ventilation.

Frequently asked questions
An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is a legal document that rates your property's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). In Hackney, you must have a valid EPC when selling or letting your property. It shows potential buyers or tenants how much energy your home uses and what it might cost to heat and power it.
The average EPC rating in Hackney is D, though around 60% of properties fall below EPC C. This reflects the age of many homes in the area, as most properties are from the mid-20th century and may lack modern energy-efficient features. Improving your rating can increase your property's value and appeal.
An EPC certificate is valid for 10 years from the date it's issued. If your certificate is expiring soon, you'll need to arrange a new assessment before selling or letting your property. You can obtain a new certificate at any time, even if your current one hasn't expired.
Loft insulation is the most recommended improvement for properties in Hackney and can significantly boost your EPC rating. Other effective upgrades include cavity wall insulation, upgrading to a modern boiler, installing double glazing, and improving draught-proofing. These improvements can also reduce your energy bills and make your home more attractive to buyers or tenants.
