Energy Performance Certificates in Greenwich

I'm based directly across the river in east London — a few minutes through the Blackwall Tunnel or via the DLR and Jubilee line — so Greenwich is firmly within my regular patch.

Areas covered

Greenwich town centre and the Peninsula (SE10), Charlton (SE7), Blackheath and Kidbrooke (SE3), Woolwich and Plumstead (SE18), and Eltham by arrangement. I cover EPCs across SE10, SE7, SE3 and SE18 postcodes.

Period property is different — and Greenwich is full of it

Greenwich has some of the finest period housing in south-east London: Georgian and Victorian terraces around the town centre and West Greenwich, and substantial older homes in Blackheath. Much of it sits within conservation areas, and some properties are listed. This matters for your EPC in two ways.

First, older solid-wall construction, single glazing and original features tend to produce lower ratings than modern homes — that's normal and expected, and I assess these properties fairly rather than penalising character features that can't reasonably be changed. Second, the improvement recommendations on the certificate need to be read with the property's constraints in mind: listed buildings and conservation areas restrict what you can alter externally. I'm happy to talk through which recommendations are realistic for your particular home.

Modern Greenwich too

It's not all period stock. The Greenwich Peninsula and Kidbrooke Village are dense with new-build apartments, and Woolwich has seen major development around the Elizabeth line station and the Royal Arsenal. These generally assess quickly and score well, and I'm used to coordinating access through building concierges.

Selling, letting or renewing

Whether you're a homeowner putting a property on the market, a landlord starting a new tenancy, or an agent chasing an expired certificate, I can usually offer an appointment within a couple of days. Certificates are lodged on the government register within 24 hours.
