EPC AGENT / BIRMINGHAM
An EPC for a Birmingham property needs to reflect the building behind the address: a converted townhouse, a self-contained flat and a modern family home can have very different construction and heating arrangements. EPC Agent arranges residential and commercial assessments for owners, landlords, agents and businesses across Birmingham, with enquiries handled through the existing booking team.

THE RIGHT CERTIFICATE
Choose the service that matches your property. If you are unsure, tell us how the building is used when you enquire.
For houses, flats and other residential properties in Birmingham. Contact us about a single home, a rental property or several addresses you manage.
Include the property type and number of bedrooms so we can discuss the assessment and access needed.
Enquire about a residential EPCFor shops, offices, warehouses and other non-domestic premises in Birmingham. We will discuss the building before confirming your quote.
Share the floor area if known, the current use and whether the enquiry covers the whole building or an individual unit.
Enquire about a commercial EPCBirmingham City Council’s conservation records illustrate the city’s variety. Edgbaston, Moseley, Bournville and the Jewellery Quarter have their own designated areas. The Moseley appraisal records streets containing nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century terraces and semi-detached houses alongside later infill. These are useful reminders that a property’s street or appearance alone cannot establish its construction or energy rating.
For an older terrace, evidence of insulation and the age of any rear extension can be particularly useful. A house converted into flats needs a different conversation: identify the exact flat, its floor, access arrangements and whether heating is individual or communal. A top-floor flat may have a roof above it, whereas a middle-floor flat can have other homes above and below. Those differences matter to the assessment even where the postal addresses are similar.
Some Birmingham conservation areas have Article 4 directions. Before replacing external windows or installing visible insulation, check the requirements for the particular address. An EPC recommendation does not itself grant planning permission, and conservation designation is not a substitute for checking the EPC rules that apply to the transaction.
For a shop, office or mixed-use building, give the assessor a description of the space being sold or let and explain which areas share heating or cooling. Where a flat sits above a business, the residential and commercial parts may need separate assessment routes. Floor plans, heating specifications and details of recent alterations help define the scope before the visit.
If you manage several properties, start by matching each current certificate to its full address on the official register. Record the rating and expiry date rather than treating a whole building or portfolio as having one EPC. When arranging reassessments after refurbishment, collect the insulation invoices and heating records for each property separately. EPC Agent can discuss the assessment required and appointment availability; the legal guides below explain the national rules for sales and lettings.
When selling or letting a property in England, check for an appropriate valid certificate and commission one before marketing if required. Covered private rentals must also meet the current minimum EPC E standard unless a valid exemption applies. A building's age or conservation-area address does not automatically establish an exemption.
Read our landlord EPC guide and EPC requirements for landlords for the current rules and practical preparation. For business premises, see commercial EPC requirements.

Book an EPC AssessmentLOCAL QUESTIONS
Yes. State the flat number and floor when enquiring, and mention any shared heating or access through communal areas. The assessor needs to identify the individual dwelling correctly.
The neighbourhood does not determine the assessment method. The building type and use matter. Heritage controls can affect later alterations, so check the address before commissioning work.
Prepare an address list, current certificates if available, access contacts and evidence of upgrades for each property. This avoids mixing records between apparently similar homes.
Yes. Describe both parts, their entrances and any shared systems. The residential and non-domestic assessment requirements can then be clarified before quoting.
Local character information is informed by the council sources below. Historical appraisals describe the area's development; they do not establish an individual property's construction, energy rating or current planning status.
