About the area
EPC Surveys in Shrewsbury
Shrewsbury is the county town of Shropshire and one of the best-preserved medieval towns in England. The town sits within a loop of the River Severn and is home to a remarkable variety of property types — from timber-framed Tudor buildings in the town centre to Victorian terraces in Castlefields and Kingsland, Edwardian semis in Meole Brace, and modern estates in Harlescott and Sundorne.
As a Government Accredited Assessor, Phil has surveyed hundreds of properties across Shrewsbury's SY1, SY2, and SY3 postcode areas. He understands the local housing stock well — including the quirks of older properties, the prevalence of solid wall construction in Victorian terraces, and the energy challenges that come with period homes.
Whether you're selling a flat in the town centre, letting a terraced house in Castlefields, or improving a detached home in Meole Brace, Phil will carry out a thorough, accurate assessment and deliver your certificate within 24 hours.

Typical Property Types in Shrewsbury
Shrewsbury has one of the most diverse housing stocks in Shropshire. The town centre contains a high concentration of listed and period buildings — timber-framed properties, Georgian townhouses, and Victorian commercial conversions. Moving outward, you'll find Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Castlefields, Kingsland, and Belle Vue; 1930s–1960s semis and detached homes in Meole Brace and Copthorne; and modern estates in Harlescott, Sundorne, and Monkmoor. Flats and apartments are common in the town centre and along the river.
Conservation areas: Shrewsbury has several conservation areas including the town centre and parts of Kingsland. Listed buildings require careful consideration during EPC assessments — Phil is experienced with period properties and will ensure your certificate accurately reflects the building's construction.
Common Improvements in Shrewsbury
In Shrewsbury's older housing stock, the most common EPC improvements are loft insulation top-up (many pre-1990 homes have insufficient depth), cavity wall insulation in 1930s–1980s properties, boiler replacement in homes with older G or F-rated systems, and the addition of heating controls. Victorian solid-wall properties present more of a challenge — internal or external wall insulation is effective but more disruptive. Phil will identify the most practical improvements for your specific property.

EPCs for Every Situation in Shrewsbury
Landlords
All rental properties in Shrewsbury must have a valid EPC (minimum E). With a large student and rental market, many landlords in SY1–SY3 need regular renewals. Proposed 2028 changes to raise the minimum to C make early action sensible.
Sellers
An EPC is legally required before marketing any property in Shrewsbury. With a competitive local market, a better EPC rating can attract more buyers and unlock green mortgage products — potentially adding value to your sale.
Buyers
Before making an offer on a Shrewsbury property, check the EPC rating. A D-rated home could cost £500+ more per year to run than a C-rated equivalent. Phil can advise on the cost of improvements before you commit.
Floor Plans
Professional floor plans can be added to any EPC survey in Shrewsbury. When booked at the same time as your EPC, prices start from £40 for a studio, then £5 per room up to 4 bedrooms and £10 per bedroom for 5-bed properties. Standalone floor plans start from £70 in SY1–SY3.
Recent changes
EPC Legislation — What's Changed
Current minimum (rentals)
All rental properties in England and Wales must have a minimum EPC rating of E. Landlords who let a property rated F or G face fines of up to £5,000.
Proposed 2028 change
The Government has proposed raising the minimum rental EPC to C by 2028 for new tenancies, with existing tenancies following by 2030. The direction of travel is clear — act now to avoid a last-minute rush.
Green mortgages
Properties rated EPC C or above can access green mortgage products with lower interest rates. On a £250,000 mortgage, a 0.25% rate reduction saves around £3,500 over a 5-year fixed term.
