Residential EPC Survey
Residential EPC Survey
We provide certified Residential EPC Surveys across the West Midlands, delivering fast, affordable assessments for landlords and sellers in areas like Wolverhampton, West Bromwich, and Birmingham. Our surveyors assess insulation, windows, heating systems, and overall building construction. The resulting EPC not only fulfills legal requirements for renting or selling but also highlights practical upgrades to improve energy efficiency.
The EPC grading scale ranges from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), and each certificate includes an overall energy performance rating alongside recommendations for improvement. Landlords must currently achieve a minimum E rating to legally rent out residential properties. However, proposals are in place to raise this requirement to a minimum C rating in the coming years, making proactive upgrades more important than ever.
Common EPC Recommendations Include:
Upgrading single-glazed to double-glazed windows
Replacing old boilers with energy-efficient condensing models
Adding cavity wall and loft insulation
Installing smart heating controls or thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs)
Switching to LED lighting throughout the property
These upgrades not only boost compliance but can significantly increase rental income and property value. An energy-efficient property also attracts higher-quality tenants and reduces maintenance issues related to condensation and heat loss.
Case Study: EPC Upgrade in Walsall
A landlord with a D-rated two-bedroom flat contacted us for guidance after a prospective tenant declined due to energy concerns. After reviewing the EPC report, we facilitated loft insulation, LED lighting installation, and a boiler upgrade. The updated EPC rating moved to a B, allowing the landlord to raise the monthly rent by 15% and secure a long-term professional tenant. The upgrade cost was recouped in less than 10 months through higher rental yield.
