EPC Kensington & Chelsea — £79.99 same-day Elmhurst certificate.

From 1 October 2030 every in-scope tenancy in Kensington & Chelsea must hit EPC band C under the unified deadline confirmed in the Warm Homes Plan response (January 2026). Properties below C cannot legally be let unless an exemption is registered. Landlords are required to spend up to £10,000 per property on relevant improvements; penalties run up to £30,000 per breach. We assess and tell you the cheapest path to C — usually LED swap, loft top-up and smart heating controls.

10 years for the same property across SW3, SW5, SW7, SW10, W8, W10, W11 — unless you carry out material works (extension, new heating system) that could change the rating. Letting agents in Kensington & Chelsea typically renew at marketing time even if not strictly required.

For most West London period stock: full LED lighting, 270mm loft insulation top-up, smart thermostat, and TRVs on every radiator. Together those four upgrades move most D-rated Kensington & Chelsea flats to C without touching glazing or external walls.

Yes — EPC + Floor Plan saves 20%; EPC + EICR + CP12 (full landlord pack) saves 15%. One visit, one report bundle, one tenant disruption — significantly cheaper than booking each contractor separately.

Yes — many properties in Kensington & Chelsea sit in conservation areas with listed-building restrictions on external work. Our Elmhurst-accredited assessors apply the correct RdSAP exemptions and document conservation constraints so the certificate reflects realistic upgrade options.

Cost-cap (you have spent £10,000 per property — or 10% of value under £100k — on relevant improvements without reaching band C), third-party consent refusal (tenant, mortgage lender, freeholder, planning) and listed-building / conservation. We document the supporting evidence and register the exemption on the PRS Exemptions Register — valid for 5 years across all Kensington & Chelsea lets.
