EPC Shrewsbury

If you need an EPC in Shrewsbury, you can contact a local accredited energy assessor directly to confirm availability, price and a convenient appointment time.

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

Homes in Shrewsbury range from older terraced and period properties through to more recent developments, so EPCs are needed for a wide mix of house types — terraces, semi-detached and detached houses, converted flats and newer builds.

Inside the EPC assessment

During the visit the assessor inspects the property and records details that affect its energy performance, including:

  • the size and layout of the home
  • property age and construction type
  • the heating system and its controls
  • insulation
  • windows and glazing
  • lighting
  • any renewable technologies such as solar panels
  • energy efficiency upgrades and paperwork

The assessor then uses this information to calculate the rating and produce a recommendation report. Older or unusually laid-out homes can take a little longer, so it helps to mention any unusual features when you book.

How soon can I get an EPC in Shrewsbury?

Many people looking for an EPC in Shrewsbury already have a sale, letting or listing under way. An estate agent may have asked for the certificate before marketing begins, or a landlord may need one before advertising a rental. Booking early helps avoid delays and gives the assessor more flexibility with older or larger properties.

EPCs for Shrewsbury landlords

Rental homes in Shrewsbury need a valid EPC before they are marketed, and the certificate is the starting point for meeting the landlord MEES requirements. Beyond compliance, it flags the improvements most likely to raise the property's efficiency.

EPCs when selling in Shrewsbury

Homeowners selling in Shrewsbury normally need a valid EPC in place before the property is advertised. Sorting it out early keeps the sale on track, and the report's suggested improvements can highlight simple changes that may lift the score.

EPC data for Shrewsbury

Figures below are for Shropshire, the local authority covering Shrewsbury, from the Energy Performance of Buildings Register to 2026 Q2.

6,103EPCs reach their 10-year expiry in the next 12 months
Band CThe most common rating, on 41% of certificates
55%Rated D or below, against 46% nationally
£1,177Average 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 Shropshire rates

69% of the certificates lodged here are for houses. The average floor area is 97.8m², roughly 13m² larger than the England and Wales average. Estimated heating costs average £1,177 a year, £238 a year above the national figure. 28% of certificates were lodged for rented homes.

Radon in Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury sits in the lowest radon band. The UKHSA and British Geological Survey estimate that less than 1 in 100 homes in the 1km square covering the town centre reach the radon action level of 200 becquerels per cubic metre. Radon is not part of an EPC survey and does not affect the rating. At this level it is not usually a concern, though individual homes can still vary. The atlas is indicative and works to a 1km grid, so it describes the area rather than any one property.

What an EPC costs in Shrewsbury

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.
