Questions property owners and landlords often ask.
Clear answers about EPCs, EPC C improvement, condition reporting, training and related services.
What is an EPC?
An Energy Performance Certificate gives a property an energy-efficiency rating and includes recommendations for improvement.
Can you help a landlord work towards EPC C?
Yes. Our EPC C Improvement service is designed to review the property, identify practical measures and provide approximate costs before major works are commissioned.
Does every private rented property have to be EPC C now?
No. The current minimum standard for covered domestic private rented property is generally EPC E unless a valid exemption applies. Government has announced a future 2030 standard; check the latest official guidance before relying on deadlines.
What is the £350–£500 EPC C service?
It is the intended assessment/advice service price discussed for the landlord-focused EPC improvement journey. Final scope and price should be confirmed for the property.
Do you provide EPC training?
Yes. RETROSURV offers practical training in suitable empty properties for £150, subject to availability and scope.
Do you provide damp and mould reports?
Yes. We provide property-condition reporting focused on damp, mould and visible issues, while identifying when specialist investigation may be needed.
What is Awaab’s Law?
Awaab’s Law is a social-housing framework in England addressing serious hazards including damp and mould. It is not a general private-landlord EPC rule.
Can you provide floorplans and measurements?
Yes. Property measurement and floorplan services can be arranged for relevant projects.
