EPCs for HMOs: when one certificate covers the house and when it doesn't

The rule that trips up more landlords than any other: whether an HMO needs one EPC or several depends on how the building is actually let.

EPCs when selling a house: what estate agents and conveyancers need

An EPC needs to exist before a property is marketed, not before completion — the order this happens in trips up more sales than it should.

EPC exemptions: listed buildings, holiday lets and the PRS register

Listed status doesn't automatically exempt a property from needing an EPC — the actual test is much narrower than most owners assume.

RdSAP explained: how your EPC rating is actually calculated

RdSAP is not a full building simulation — it is a standardised methodology built on age-based assumptions, on-site measurement and photographic evidence. Here is what actually goes into your number.

SAP calculations for new builds: design stage to as-built EPC

New builds are assessed under full SAP, not RdSAP, and the process runs in two distinct stages long before anyone moves in. Here is how design-stage and as-built calculations fit together.

Commercial EPCs explained: SBEM, levels 3 to 5 and MEES for landlords

Non-domestic EPCs are built on a different methodology to residential ones, assessed at different levels of complexity, and carry their own minimum standard for lettings.

Solid wall insulation and your EPC: points, cost and risk

Solid wall insulation is one of the biggest single EPC gains available on a pre-1930s house, but it is also the most expensive and disruptive measure most owners will consider.

Heat pumps and EPC ratings: what actually changes on the certificate

A heat pump nearly always improves the environmental impact rating on an EPC. Whether it improves the headline energy rating too depends on the fabric it is heating.

Windows, glazing and EPCs: how much a replacement really adds

New windows are one of the most visible home improvements a buyer or landlord makes, but on the EPC they are usually a modest contributor, not a band-changing measure on their own.

EPCs for flats: communal heating, block data and access

A flat's EPC depends on more than what happens inside the front door. Shared heating systems, communal areas and access to plant rooms all shape the result.

EPC penalties and enforcement: fines, trading standards and MEES

The penalties for getting EPC compliance wrong sit in two different systems — general marketing failures and MEES minimum standard breaches — and the exposure is different for each.

12 min read

EPCs for a block of flats: how many you need and what it costs

A block does not get one EPC. Each self-contained flat that is sold or let needs its own certificate, which is why blocks are quoted per flat and organised as a single visit programme rather than a string of separate bookings.

Bulk EPC pricing explained: what drives the per-property rate

Bulk EPC quotes vary far more than they should, mostly because providers price different things. Five factors explain almost all of the difference.

Part L and SAP for developers: what you need at each stage

Part L problems are almost always sequencing problems. Design-stage SAP done late, or as-built evidence collected after the fact, is what turns compliance into a delay.

Commercial MEES: planning a portfolio to 2030

MEES exposure on a commercial portfolio is rarely evenly spread. A handful of assets usually carry most of the risk, and finding them early is what makes the spend manageable.

Can you get an EPC the same day?

A direct answer to the question people type at the worst possible moment: yes, a same-day EPC is usually possible in London, it costs a little more, and the two things that decide it are assessor availability and access.

Does a communal hallway need an asbestos survey as well as a fire risk assessment?

Conveyancers request the fire risk assessment and the asbestos survey in the same email because the shared hallway is caught by two different duties at once. Here is what each one requires, which buildings it applies to, and what a complete set of documents looks like.
