Landlords must reach minimum EPC C by October 2030. Know your rating now — before compliance becomes a crisis.
Fixed-price domestic EPCs with same-day certificate issue. No hidden fees. No call-out charges.
As a fully accredited Non-Domestic Energy Assessor (NDEA), I carry out commercial EPCs across Birmingham and the wider area — offices, retail, industrial premises, warehouses, and larger HMOs.
Non-domestic EPCs are a legal requirement when selling, letting or modifying commercial buildings. I assess all sizes across Birmingham and surrounding areas.
High street units, retail parks, and convenience stores in Birmingham. Commercial landlords need valid EPCs for all lettable retail space.
Workshops, light industrial, storage and mixed-use buildings. If you're unsure whether your Birmingham property qualifies, just ask.
Some larger HMOs and mixed-use properties require a non-domestic EPC. I can advise on which applies to your Birmingham property.
Birmingham's housing stock is one of the most diverse in the UK — and the property type matters significantly for EPC outcomes and 2030 compliance planning.
Areas like Aston, Sparkbrook, Small Heath and Bordesley Green contain dense pre-1919 terraced housing — much of it solid-walled. These properties are common in the private rented sector and are disproportionately exposed to the 2030 MEES deadline. Solid wall insulation is expensive and disruptive; early assessment is essential to understand the options and costs.
Moseley, Edgbaston, Harborne, Handsworth Wood and Kings Heath contain larger Edwardian and interwar semi-detached properties — many with cavity walls and south-facing roofs well suited to Solar PV. These often sit at D or C under current SAP and are worth assessing before HEM arrives in 2027.
North Birmingham — Kingstanding, Perry Barr, Erdington, Castle Vale — contains extensive post-war housing, much of it originally council-built. These properties typically have cavity walls and loft space for insulation upgrades. Many are now privately rented and a significant proportion need improvement works to reach EPC C.
Birmingham has one of the largest private rented sectors in England. The combination of high rented stock and a large proportion of older, lower-rated housing means the 2030 MEES deadline will have significant impact here. Landlords with properties in B1–B12 postcodes should act early.

Domestic EPC prices with KIEEPC are fixed — £65 for a flat or apartment, £75 for a house up to 3 bedrooms, and £90 for a 4–6 bedroom property. All prices include the survey, lodgement on the national register, and same-day certificate. Commercial EPCs are quoted on survey — contact us for a no-obligation quote.
Yes. From 1 October 2030, all privately rented properties in England and Wales — including those in Birmingham — must achieve a minimum EPC C. Birmingham has a large proportion of pre-1919 terraced and back-to-back housing in areas like Aston, Sparkbrook and Small Heath that is currently rated D or below and will require attention ahead of the deadline.
Birmingham has one of the most varied housing stocks in the UK. Inner-city areas contain pre-1919 terracing, much of it solid-walled. Suburban areas like Moseley, Edgbaston and Harborne contain larger Edwardian and interwar semi-detached properties. North Birmingham suburbs include extensive post-war council-origin housing. Each type has different EPC implications and improvement options.
Yes. KIEEPC is fully accredited as a Non-Domestic Energy Assessor (NDEA) and carries out commercial EPCs across Birmingham — offices, retail units, industrial premises, warehouses, and larger HMOs. Pricing is quoted on survey — contact us for a quote.
Under the Home Energy Model (HEM), which replaces SAP from 2027, properties with gas or oil boilers cannot achieve a C on the Heating System metric — regardless of boiler efficiency. This affects the vast majority of Birmingham's housing stock. An EPC completed under current SAP before October 2029 that achieves a C locks in that compliance for up to 10 years — making early action the most practical response for Birmingham landlords.
Yes — significantly. A suitably sized Solar PV system can move a property up by one or two rating bands under current SAP. Under the incoming HEM, Solar PV contributes to the Smart Readiness metric, making it increasingly valuable for compliance. I carry out full Solar PV surveys at no charge, including system design and SAP-modelled EPC impact predictions. Get in touch to arrange one →
Yes. KIEEPC covers Birmingham city and all surrounding areas — from the inner-city postcodes to the suburban areas of Sutton Coldfield, Erdington, Northfield and beyond. Fixed domestic prices apply throughout with no additional call-out charges for standard assessments.
Yes — an EPC is a legal requirement before a property can be marketed for sale in England and Wales. It must be commissioned before the first advertisement appears. Estate agents in Birmingham will ask for it before listing. If your existing EPC has expired — they last 10 years — you'll need a fresh assessment before you can proceed.
The on-site visit typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes for a standard domestic property — slightly longer for larger or more complex homes. Once complete, the EPC is lodged on the national register and emailed to you the same day in the vast majority of cases.
In most cases, yes. Government-funded schemes such as ECO4 and the Warm Homes Plan require a current EPC as part of the eligibility assessment — and many schemes require the property to be below a certain rating to qualify. Getting an up-to-date EPC is typically the first step before applying for any funding.
EPCs are valid for 10 years from the date of issue. If yours has expired, you'll need a new one before selling or renting. Even if it hasn't expired, if you've made improvements since it was issued — a new boiler, insulation, or Solar PV — a fresh assessment may show a better rating.
Every EPC includes a recommendation report. I work with a network of PAS2035-compliant installers and can facilitate no-obligation quotes for all the main energy efficiency measures — cavity wall and loft insulation, solid wall insulation, Solar PV, and heat pumps. I can also model the SAP outcome before you commit, and advise on funding routes including ECO4 and the Warm Homes Plan. Get in touch to discuss your options →
A standard EPC assessment is visual and non-intrusive — if there is no definitive evidence that insulation is present and performing correctly, the assessor must record the wall as uninsulated. I carry out cavity wall inspections using a borescope — a small camera inserted through a drill hole — which visually confirms whether insulation is present, intact, and free from voids or damp. Where failed insulation is found, I can advise on remediation options. Get in touch to arrange an inspection →
