About the area
Telford is one of England's largest new towns, designated in 1968 and built around the historic towns of Wellington, Dawley, Madeley, and Oakengates. The borough has a distinctive housing stock — a high proportion of post-war and modern properties, many built to the energy standards of their era, alongside older Victorian and Edwardian homes in the original town centres.
The TF postcode area covers a wide range of property types and ages. Wellington (TF1) has a mix of Victorian terraces and modern estates; Telford town centre (TF3) is dominated by 1970s–1990s housing; Ironbridge and Broseley (TF7–TF8) have a higher proportion of period properties, including some listed buildings in the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site.
Phil surveys properties across all TF postcode areas, from the modern estates of Telford town centre to the rural villages of TF6 and TF10. His local knowledge of the area's housing stock means he can provide accurate, thorough assessments and practical improvement advice.
Telford's housing stock is dominated by post-war and modern construction — 1960s–1990s semis and detached homes make up a large proportion of the borough's properties. Wellington and Oakengates have older Victorian and Edwardian terraces. Ironbridge and Broseley (TF7–TF8) contain a mix of period cottages, Victorian workers' housing, and modern infill development. Newport (TF10) has a traditional market town character with Georgian and Victorian properties alongside modern estates.
Conservation areas: The Ironbridge Gorge is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a significant number of listed buildings. Properties in TF7 and TF8 may have restrictions on certain types of improvement. Phil is experienced with period properties and will ensure your EPC accurately reflects the building's construction.
In Telford's predominantly post-war housing stock, the most common EPC improvements are loft insulation top-up, cavity wall insulation (most 1960s–1990s properties have unfilled cavities), boiler replacement, and the addition of smart heating controls. Modern estates built after 2000 often have better insulation but may benefit from solar panels or heat pump upgrades. Phil will identify the most cost-effective improvements for your specific property and budget.
Who needs one?
Telford has a large private rental sector, particularly in TF1–TF4. All rental properties must have a valid EPC (minimum E). With proposed 2028 changes raising the minimum to C, many Telford landlords will need to plan improvements now.
An EPC is legally required before marketing any property in Telford. The borough's competitive housing market means a better EPC rating can attract more buyers and unlock green mortgage products for purchasers.
Telford's post-war housing stock varies widely in energy efficiency. Before making an offer, check the EPC rating — a D-rated home could cost significantly more to run than a C-rated equivalent. Phil can advise on improvement costs.
Professional floor plans can be added to any EPC survey in Telford. 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 are available — call for a quote.
