EPC Atherstone

Need an EPC in Atherstone? Contact a local accredited energy assessor directly to check availability, confirm the price and arrange an appointment.

An Energy Performance Certificate shows how energy efficient a property is and gives it a rating from A to G. You will usually need a valid EPC before a home can be marketed for sale or let.

Atherstone is a market town in north Warwickshire, strung along the line of the old Roman road of Watling Street. Its housing has a traditional character in the centre, with Georgian and Victorian townhouses and terraces, giving way to inter-war and post-war semis and newer estate development around the edges of the town. EPCs are commonly needed here for period homes, terraced and semi-detached houses, converted flats and modern properties.

What the assessor looks at

A domestic EPC in Atherstone is usually straightforward and quick. The assessor visits the property and records the features that determine the rating for that individual home rather than assuming them from its age or setting.

  • the size and layout of the property
  • the age and construction type
  • the heating system and its controls
  • insulation to the loft, walls and floors
  • windows and glazing
  • lighting
  • any renewable technology present
  • energy efficiency upgrades and paperwork

Those details are used to produce the rating and a recommendation report. Older period terraces with solid walls can behave differently from a modern house, so it helps to mention any unusual features when you book.

How quickly can I book an EPC in Atherstone?

Most people looking for an EPC in Atherstone already have a sale or tenancy in progress, with an agent asking for the certificate before the property goes to market.

Booking early is the easiest way to keep to schedule and gives the assessor more flexibility where a property is older, larger or of traditional construction.

EPCs for Atherstone landlords

Landlords in Atherstone need a valid EPC before advertising a rental property. The certificate also lets you check the home against the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), which set the minimum rating a property must reach to be let legally. For older, solid-wall rentals in the town, the recommendation report can point to improvements worth considering.

EPCs for homeowners selling a property

Selling a house or flat in Atherstone usually means having an EPC ready before marketing begins, whether it is a period terrace, a semi-detached family home or a newer estate property. Arranging it early keeps the sale moving, and the recommendation report can suggest low-cost changes that may improve the rating. You can confirm the details of an existing certificate on the EPC register.

EPC data for Atherstone

Figures below are for North Warwickshire, the local authority covering Atherstone, from the Energy Performance of Buildings Register to 2026 Q2.

1,491EPCs reach their 10-year expiry in the next 12 months
Band CThe most common rating, on 43% of certificates
55%Rated D or below, against 46% nationally
£1,070Average estimated heating cost a year

That expiry count is certificates lodged ten years ago and now coming up for renewal. Some of those homes have already been re-certified since, which authority-level data cannot show, so treat it as the ceiling rather than a to-do list.

How North Warwickshire rates

Share of the 7,084 certificates lodged in the five years to 2026 Q2. This is the certificates lodged, not a survey of every home in the area.

What gets assessed around here

76% of the certificates lodged here are for houses. The average floor area is 89.3m², roughly 4m² larger than the England and Wales average. Estimated heating costs average £1,070 a year, £131 a year above the national figure. 25% of certificates were lodged for rented homes.

Radon in Atherstone

Atherstone sits in a radon Affected Area. The UKHSA and British Geological Survey put the 1km square covering the town centre in a band where between 5 and 10 in 100 homes are estimated to be at or above the radon action level of 200 becquerels per cubic metre. Radon is not measured during an EPC survey and does not affect the rating, but if you are buying, selling or improving a home here it is worth a test kit, and worth knowing before you seal a property up: draught-proofing and insulation work can raise indoor radon if ventilation is reduced. The atlas is indicative and works to a 1km grid, so it describes the area rather than any one property.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Planning records published for the area within a mile of Atherstone centre show 4 conservation areas and 2 article 4 direction areas. That matters for an EPC in two ways. A listed building is normally exempt from needing one where meeting the minimum energy requirements would unacceptably alter its character or appearance, though the exemption is not automatic and the decision rests with the owner on advice. And in conservation areas and article 4 areas the improvements an EPC recommends, replacement glazing or external wall insulation in particular, often need consent before they can be carried out. Your assessor will record what is actually there; the consent question is one for the council.

What an EPC costs in Atherstone

An EPC around here generally costs between £60 and £155, though it depends on the property: floor area, whether there are rooms in the roof, extensions, and how far the assessor travels all move the price. We are not a panel and we do not set anybody's fees, so the figure you are quoted comes from the assessor doing the work. Contact one above for a price on your property.
