Frequently asked questions
An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is a legal requirement when you sell or let a property in Telford and Wrekin. It rates your home's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The certificate shows potential buyers or tenants how much it will cost to heat and light your property, and suggests improvements you could make. You'll need one before marketing your property.
The average EPC rating in Telford and Wrekin is D. However, around 60% of properties in the area fall below EPC C, meaning many homes have room for improvement. If your property is rated D or lower, making energy efficiency upgrades could increase its value and appeal to buyers or tenants.
Many properties in Telford and Wrekin are from the mid-20th century, and older homes typically have lower EPC ratings. These properties often lack modern insulation, have older heating systems, and single-glazed windows. The good news is that improvements like loft insulation—the most recommended upgrade in the area—can significantly boost your rating and reduce energy bills.
Loft insulation is the most recommended improvement for properties in Telford and Wrekin and offers excellent value for money. It's relatively affordable to install, reduces heat loss significantly, and can improve your EPC rating by one or two bands. Other worthwhile upgrades include cavity wall insulation, draught-proofing, and upgrading to a modern boiler.
An EPC certificate is valid for 10 years from the date of issue. If you're selling or letting your property, you'll need a current certificate—one that's less than 10 years old. If your certificate is expiring soon and you're planning to sell or let, it's worth getting a new one, especially if you've made energy efficiency improvements that could result in a better rating.
