EPC Price Check

EPC rating and sold prices in London

In London, homes rated EPC C or better sold for 10% more per square metre than D–G homes (median £6,533 vs £5,955, 905,111 sales since 2015), but like for like homes rated C or better sold for 2.1% more (95% range +1.7% to +2.4%) (random sample of 300,000 sales). Data: HM Land Registry to 30 September 2026, EPC register.

From the raw gap to like-for-like

Comparing C+ with D–G homes…Difference95% range
Raw gap per m² (medians)+10%—
Whole price, nothing held equal−10.9%−11.3% to −10.5%
Same floor area+7.2%+6.8% to +7.5%
+ same property type+1.0%+0.7% to +1.3%
+ same build period+4.1%+3.8% to +4.5%
+ same year of sale+2.1%+1.7% to +2.4%

The first row compares median prices per m²; the second compares whole prices; each later row adds one more thing that must be equal, ending with the like-for-like premium (regression of log price; build period from the certificate, 12 bands). The raw gap per m² and the whole-price gap differ because C+ and D–G homes differ in size.

The gap in price per square metre between London homes in EPC band C or above and bands D–G comes mostly from the homes themselves: a C or above on the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) in London is more often found in smaller flats, where the square metre costs more. Like for like on floor area, type, build period and year of sale, the premium shrinks to a couple of percent.

Why the gap shrinks

With no adjustments, the total price for C and above is actually 10.9% lower; adjusted for floor area it comes out at +7.2%, add the type and it's +1.0%, build period +4.1%, and year of sale gives the like-for-like figure. Districts tell a different story: in E14 a raw gap of +17% turns into −2.7%, in SW3 −7% becomes +6.2%. Of 230 postcode districts, the premium is distinguishable from zero in 32, the discount in 33, and in 165 there is no visible difference.

Your district and your certificate

Your district is in the table of districts on the page, and you can look up your home's certificate by postcode in Find an energy certificate. This shows a link between the band and HM Land Registry sales up to 30 September 2026, not a cause and not a valuation of your home.
