Energy performance consultation for landlords & developers.
We help landlords and developers across Norwich, Norfolk and Suffolk understand their properties' energy performance and make smart decisions about compliance, costs and upgrades.
Renovation & rentalKnow your position before you commit.
Thinking about buying a rental property? Wondering whether your existing portfolio will meet the 2030 MEES deadline? We can assess a property and tell you its expected EPC rating — without lodging the certificate on the public register.
This gives you the information you need to make decisions without creating a record that could complicate a sale or tenancy. It's particularly useful when evaluating potential purchases, planning a phased upgrade programme, or simply understanding what you're working with.
Cost-effective compliance strategies
Every pound you spend on energy improvements should work as hard as possible. We analyse each property individually and recommend the measures that deliver the biggest rating improvement for the lowest cost.
That might mean targeted insulation work rather than a full external wall system. It might mean upgrading heating controls rather than replacing the entire boiler. We look at the full picture — the building fabric, the heating system, the EPC methodology — and find the approach that gets you where you need to be without unnecessary expenditure.
For portfolios with multiple properties, we can help you prioritise which buildings to tackle first and develop a realistic timeline and budget.
Preparing for 2030
The government has confirmed that all private rental properties in England will need to meet an EPC C rating by October 2030, with a spending cap of £10,000 per property. A new EPC methodology — the Home Energy Model — is expected to replace the current system, with new metrics covering fabric performance, heating system efficiency, smart readiness and running costs.
These are significant changes. Properties that comfortably meet the current minimum E may still fall short of the new C requirement, and the updated methodology could shift ratings in unexpected ways.
We help you understand what these changes mean for your specific properties and build a plan that's proportionate, practical and cost-effective.
For developers
Whether you're building new or converting existing stock, energy performance should be part of your thinking from the start. We advise on energy strategy, help you target the right EPC ratings, and ensure your designs meet Building Regulations Part L requirements.
Getting energy performance right at design stage is far cheaper than retrofitting later. We work with architects, builders and project managers to integrate energy considerations into the build process — from SAP calculations through to the final as-built certificate.
What it costs
We price our consultations based on the number and complexity of properties involved. For portfolio work, we offer competitive rates for multiple assessments. Get in touch and we'll put together a quote that reflects your specific requirements.
