EPC AGENT / REDDITCH
Redditch includes planned New Town neighbourhoods alongside other residential and business accommodation. For an EPC, owners and agents should identify the actual dwelling or unit, its layout and subsequent improvements. Similar-looking homes may no longer have the same construction details or heating systems.

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 Redditch. 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 Redditch. 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 EPCRedditch Borough Council records Church Hill, Matchborough, Winyates and Woodrow as New Town district centres. Its housing evidence also records conversions of existing houses into flats. These examples illustrate why the present layout and address matter as much as the original development period.
For a house that has been subdivided, explain the accommodation now provided and the heating serving each dwelling. A certificate issued before conversion should not be assumed to cover the newly created units. Clear postal identification helps ensure the correct property is assessed and subsequently found on the official register.
A home may retain its original external form while having new glazing, improved insulation or a different heating system. Gather records of completed work and make the boiler, hot-water equipment and controls accessible. If rooms have been added or a garage incorporated into the home, give those details when requesting the quote.
For a flat or maisonette, explain which spaces lie above, below and beside it, and whether access or services are shared. The assessor will establish the relevant building characteristics. Do not borrow a rating from another dwelling merely because it appears to have the same floor plan.
Landlords arranging work between tenancies can use the existing EPC as a starting point, then seek suitable advice on measures before installation. Keep completion evidence so a subsequent assessment can reflect the finished work. An EPC is not a substitute for investigating damp, disrepair or ventilation problems.
For a district-centre shop or other commercial premises, describe any living accommodation, storage and shared plant. Give the current use and approximate floor area, and send plans if available. Agree tenant or keyholder access in advance so the assessor can reach the spaces covered by the appointment.
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.
