EPC Assessors in Cherwell
If you're buying, selling or renting a property in Cherwell, you'll need an Energy Performance Certificate. This document shows how energy efficient a building is, rated from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). Every property must have one before it goes on the market or is let out.
Cherwell's housing stock is predominantly made up of houses, most built during the mid-20th century. These older properties tend to have lower energy efficiency ratings. The average EPC rating across the district is D, and around 60% of homes fall below the C rating.

The good news is that many properties can be improved relatively easily. Loft insulation is the most commonly recommended upgrade in Cherwell. Adding or upgrading insulation in your loft is usually affordable, straightforward to install, and can make a noticeable difference to your energy bills and your home's EPC rating.

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 Cherwell, you must have a valid EPC when selling or renting out your property. It shows potential buyers or tenants how much energy your home uses and what it costs to run. With the average rating in Cherwell being D, many properties have room for improvement.
Around 60% of properties in Cherwell are rated below EPC C, largely because the most common property type is houses built in the mid-20th century. Older properties typically have poorer insulation, less efficient heating systems, and older windows, all of which affect energy performance. However, this also means there are significant opportunities to improve your rating through targeted upgrades.
Loft insulation is the most recommended improvement for properties in Cherwell. It's cost-effective, relatively quick to install, and can make a noticeable difference to your EPC rating and heating bills. Other improvements worth considering include upgrading your boiler, installing double glazing, and improving wall insulation, but loft insulation typically offers the best return on investment.
An EPC certificate is valid for 10 years from the date it's issued. If you're selling or letting your property, you'll need a current certificate. If your certificate is expiring soon, you'll need to arrange a new assessment before completing a sale or letting agreement.
Yes, it can help. Properties with better energy ratings are increasingly attractive to buyers and tenants, especially as energy costs rise. With 60% of Cherwell properties below EPC C, having a C rating or above could make your property stand out. It also demonstrates responsible ownership and can justify a competitive asking price or rental rate.
