Residential EPCs in Cheltenham
If you're looking for a residential EPC in Cheltenham, you might be preparing to sell your home, have recently completed major home improvements that require an EPC for Building Regulations compliance, or perhaps there’s been a change in legal ownership.
Whatever the reason, you’ve likely got enough on your plate and you need a local, dependable domestic energy assessor in Cheltenham who can carry out the assessment seamlessly and at a time that suits you. That’s exactly what we offer.
We also go further than most. Thanks to our investment in advanced insurance cover, we’re able to provide comprehensive consultancy on how to improve your property’s energy performance, ideal if you’re aiming for a better EPC rating or need to meet upcoming MEES standards.
Cheltenham landlord EPCs
Unless you’re new to being a landlord, you’ll already know that Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are one of several legal requirements you must comply with. At EPC Bright, we offer a highly professional service and invest in specialist insurance that enables us to advise on ways to improve energy efficiency across your rental properties. You may not find this level of expertise with other assessors.
This added value is becoming even more important as the minimum EPC band for rental properties in Cheltenham is set to rise to Band C. We can help you plan and implement the right improvements to meet this standard and remain compliant.
If you manage a portfolio of properties, we are happy to offer multi-EPC discounts to help you keep costs down while meeting your obligations efficiently.
Cheltenham Commercial EPCs
If you are looking for a commercial EPC in Cheltenham, we can provide a reliable and high-quality service. We combine our ability to carry out efficient and accurate surveys with the added benefit of a specialist consultancy service.
We also invest in advanced insurance cover that goes beyond industry requirements. This allows us to offer comprehensive advice on how to improve your building’s energy performance rating. This is particularly important if you are aiming to comply with tightening regulations or wish to make your property more attractive to potential buyers or tenants.
If you require EPCs for multiple commercial properties, we are happy to offer discounted rates to keep your compliance efficient and cost-effective.
EPC Requirements
The government has set out Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) for buildings, and these standards are becoming increasingly strict as part of the UK’s long-term energy and environmental strategy.
One of the most important developments in the latest proposed legislation is that it applies to all buildings, not just rental properties. That means more property owners than ever need to be aware of their responsibilities and plan ahead for compliance.
Key EPC Targets by Property Type
Domestic homes
All domestic properties must reach EPC Band C by 2033, where practical, cost-effective, and affordable.
Privately rented properties
All privately rented homes must reach EPC Band C by 2028, under the same practical conditions.
Rented non-domestic buildings
All privately rented commercial properties must reach EPC Band B by 2030.
Other Stakeholders Affected
The legislation also includes proposals that will affect other categories, including:
New builds
Social housing
Mortgage lenders (who may require higher EPC ratings to approve finance)
If you’re unsure how these changes apply to your property or portfolio, we are happy to provide further guidance.

EPC in Cheltenham FAQs
When Do I Need an EPC?
Different types of property require Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) at different stages, but as a general rule, you’ll need one whenever a property transaction takes place. This includes:
Selling a property
Starting a new rental agreement
Constructing a new build
You may also need a new EPC if you've made significant improvements to the property, particularly where Building Regulations compliance needs to be demonstrated.
How Long Do EPCs Last?
EPCs in Cheltenham, like across the rest of the UK, are valid for ten years. However, if your property has undergone major changes, or you plan to sell or let it again, you may need a new certificate to reflect its current condition and energy performance.
How Long Does an EPC Assessment Take?
For most properties in Cheltenham, an EPC assessment takes up to one hour to complete. Our assessors will gather all the necessary information during the visit, and you don’t need to be there for longer than necessary.
How Much Does an EPC Certificate Cost in Cheltenham?
We offer EPC certificates in Cheltenham from just £70, with no hidden charges. The price you’re quoted is the price you’ll pay.
What Does EPC Stand For?
EPC stands for Energy Performance Certificate. It records the energy efficiency of a building, rated on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). Increasingly, there are minimum energy standards that properties must meet — especially if you are renting or planning to sell.
