EPC Stourbridge – Energy Performance Certificates

If you’re selling or letting a property in Stourbridge, you must have a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) before it can be marketed. An EPC provides an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and includes recommendations for improving performance.

This page helps homeowners and landlords arrange a local EPC in Stourbridge efficiently, whether preparing a property for sale, letting, refinancing, or reviewing compliance.

Local EPCs for Stourbridge properties

Stourbridge has a mix of traditional terraces, interwar suburban housing, and more recent residential developments. EPC requirements commonly apply to:

Victorian and Edwardian terraces (Old Quarter, Lye border)
Often solid wall construction with varying insulation levels. EPC ratings frequently depend on internal wall insulation, loft insulation depth, and heating system upgrades.

1930s–1960s semi-detached housing (Pedmore, Norton)
Typically cavity wall construction with pitched roofs and gas central heating. Ratings are usually influenced by glazing type, insulation improvements, and boiler efficiency.

Modern estates and apartments
Newer developments generally benefit from improved insulation standards but still require a valid EPC for sale or rent.

Rental properties
Stourbridge has an established private rental sector. Landlords must ensure properties meet Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) before letting.

Because EPC results depend on construction type, insulation levels, glazing, and heating systems, properties across Stourbridge can produce different ratings even within the same neighbourhood.

What happens during an EPC assessment?

An EPC assessment in Stourbridge involves a short, non-invasive inspection to gather the information required for the certificate.

The assessor will typically review:

• Property size, layout, and construction age
• Wall type and insulation (where visible)
• Loft or roof insulation (if accessible)
• Heating system, boiler details, and controls
• Hot water provision
• Windows, glazing type, and fixed lighting

The visit does not involve drilling or disruption. Most domestic assessments take between 30–60 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the property.

Providing documentation for insulation upgrades, boiler installations, or replacement glazing can help ensure the most accurate rating.

How quickly can I get an EPC in Stourbridge?

In most cases:

• Appointments are available within a few days
• The on-site assessment usually takes under an hour
• The EPC is lodged on the national register within 24 hours of the visit

This allows sellers, landlords, and agents to proceed without delay.

EPC data for Stourbridge

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

4,588EPCs reach their 10-year expiry in the next 12 months
Band CThe most common rating, on 48% of certificates
50%Rated D or below, against 46% nationally
£956Average 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 Dudley rates

Share of the 47,323 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

64% of the certificates lodged here are for houses. The average floor area is 74.8m², roughly 10m² smaller than the England and Wales average. Estimated heating costs average £956 a year, in line with the national figure. 57% of certificates were lodged for rented homes, a notably high share, so Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards bite harder here.

Radon in Stourbridge

Stourbridge 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 Stourbridge centre show 5 conservation 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 Stourbridge

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.
