FAQs on EPC C Compliance by Valrao

1. What is EPC C compliance, and why is it important?
EPC C compliance refers to meeting the minimum Energy Performance Certificate rating of “C” for rental properties in the UK. From 2025, new tenancies must meet this standard, and from 2028, it will apply to all existing rentals. Achieving this rating improves energy efficiency, reduces utility costs, and ensures legal compliance with government regulations.

2. How can Valrao help my property meet EPC C requirements?
Valrao offers a complete EPC C compliance service that includes a detailed energy assessment, identification of required upgrades (like insulation, heating systems, or double glazing), and full project management of improvements to ensure your property meets or exceeds the required standards.

3. What types of properties does Valrao work with?
Valrao works with a wide range of residential and commercial properties, including single-family homes, flats, HMOs, and larger portfolios. Their services are tailored to suit landlords, property managers, and developers across London and the UK.

4. How long does it take to bring a property up to EPC C standards?
The timeline varies depending on the current condition of the property and the scope of upgrades needed. Valrao conducts an initial assessment and provides a clear timeline and step-by-step plan to ensure efficient completion with minimal disruption.

5. Is the EPC C upgrade cost-effective in the long run?
Yes. While some upfront investment may be required, EPC C upgrades typically reduce energy bills, increase property value, and improve tenant satisfaction. Valrao focuses on cost-effective solutions to deliver strong returns over time.
