EPC AGENT / OLDBURY
Oldbury contains more than one kind of EPC appointment: a flat near Church Square, a family home in Langley and a commercial unit can need different preparation. EPC Agent arranges residential and commercial EPC enquiries across Oldbury, helping property owners and managing agents identify what information is needed before the assessment.

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 EPCSandwell’s Church Square appraisal describes an unusually clear mix of building generations: early- and mid-nineteenth-century houses, retail buildings and later red-brick apartment development. The council’s local housing service also identifies Langley, Brandhall and Bristnall as areas associated with Oldbury. A town-centre historic building should therefore not be used as a proxy for every property across the town.
An apartment may have a different heat-loss pattern from a detached or semi-detached home, even when both use the same boiler type. The assessor records the features of the individual dwelling, including its heating, glazing, insulation and exposed walls. Where a house has acquired a later kitchen extension, make any drawings or completion documents available so the original building and addition can be considered appropriately.
Sandwell’s published Crosswells Road housing project includes houses and bungalows on a former depot site, with solar panels and insulation features specified by the council. This is a local example of why age and specification both matter. It is not a basis for assigning a rating to another Langley property, nor a claim about the present completion status of every unit.
For a bungalow, accessible roof-space information can be especially helpful because the roof sits above much of the dwelling. For a flat, tell the booking team about communal entrances and shared systems. For either property type, keep evidence of previous insulation work rather than relying on a recollection that it was done before you bought the property.
Church Square’s mix of homes and businesses makes clear descriptions important when a building changes hands. State whether the transaction concerns a whole building, a ground-floor business or a self-contained dwelling. If alterations are planned within the conservation area, check the applicable planning controls separately from the EPC. A certificate does not establish structural condition, resolve a lease boundary or authorise changes to historic fabric.
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 what affects the cost of an EPC for the current rules and practical preparation. For business premises, see commercial EPC requirements.

Book an EPC AssessmentLOCAL QUESTIONS
Yes. Provide the flat number, floor and entry arrangements. Check that the person meeting the assessor can allow access to the dwelling and any relevant shared facilities.
Both can receive domestic EPCs, but their physical features differ. Roof exposure, external walls, floor position and heating are recorded for the actual property.
Yes. Tell the assessor when it was added if known and provide suitable documents. An extension may have a different construction and insulation specification from the original house.
No automatic conclusion should be drawn from the address. Heritage restrictions and EPC exemptions are separate questions requiring the details of the building and proposed transaction.
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.
