Residential EPCs in Gloucester

Gloucester Landlord EPCs
Many landlords will already know that Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are a legal requirement within the rental sector. As a highly professional and experienced company, we can help you meet this obligation. If needed, we also provide an advisory service to support you in improving your property’s energy performance.
This added level of support is made possible through our enhanced insurance cover, which allows us to offer guidance that most EPC assessors are not qualified or insured to provide.
With minimum EPC standards for rental properties in Gloucester rising to Band C, the need for clear, practical advice on energy improvements is becoming increasingly important. We’re here to help you understand what changes are needed and how to achieve them efficiently.
If you manage more than one rental property, we offer multi-EPC discounts to keep your compliance cost-effective across your entire portfolio.

Thanks to our enhanced insurance cover, we are qualified to offer detailed consultancy on how to improve your building’s energy performance. This can help you meet current or future government standards, and also make your premises more attractive to potential tenants, while potentially reducing running costs.
If you need EPCs for multiple commercial buildings, we offer discounts to keep your compliance both affordable and efficient.
EPC Requirements
Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) are government-set targets aimed at improving the energy performance of buildings across the UK. These standards are becoming increasingly strict, and recent proposals expand the scope well beyond rental properties.
What’s Changing?
In the latest proposed legislation, MEES will apply to all buildings, not just rented properties. This shift means more property owners will need to consider the energy efficiency of their buildings, regardless of whether they are being let or sold.
Key EPC Targets in the Proposals
Domestic properties
Where practical, cost-effective, and affordable, all domestic homes must reach EPC Band C by 2033.
Privately rented properties
Where practical, cost-effective, and affordable, all privately rented homes must reach EPC Band C by 2028.
Rented non-domestic buildings
Where practical, cost-effective, and affordable, all privately rented commercial properties must reach EPC Band B by 2030.
Other Stakeholders Affected
The proposed legislation also includes other housing types and industry sectors such as:
New builds
Mortgage lenders
Social housing providers
If you're unsure how these changes might affect your property, we can provide clear, personalised guidance based on your situation.
Get in touch if you would like to discuss what the new MEES rules could mean for you.

EPC in Gloucester FAQs
When is an EPC Needed?
In most cases, a property will require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) when a transaction is about to take place. This includes:
Selling a property
Starting a new tenancy agreement
Constructing a new build or converting a property for new use
You may also need an updated EPC if you’ve carried out building works that fall under Building Regulations and need to demonstrate compliance.
How Long Do EPC Certificates Last?
EPC certificates in Gloucester, like the rest of the UK, are valid for ten years. However, if you make significant alterations to your property or put it up for sale or rent again, you may need a new certificate sooner to reflect its current energy performance.
How Much Time Does an EPC Assessment Take?
Most EPC assessments in Gloucester take around 60 minutes to complete. Our qualified assessors will gather the necessary information quickly and efficiently, with minimal disruption to you.
How Much Does an EPC Certificate in Gloucester Cost?
At EPC Bright, we offer EPC certificates in Gloucester starting from £70, with clear pricing and no hidden fees. The price we quote is the price you pay.
What Does EPC Stand For?
EPC stands for Energy Performance Certificate. It’s an official document that rates the energy efficiency of a property using a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). These certificates are used to inform buyers, tenants, and landlords about how much energy a building is likely to use.
Government regulations are raising the minimum EPC standards, which means more properties will need to meet higher ratings in the near future — especially in the rental and commercial sectors.
