About the area
EPC Surveys in Wem
Wem is a small market town in north Shropshire, situated on the River Roden about 10 miles north of Shrewsbury. The town has a compact centre with a mix of period and modern properties, and is surrounded by a largely flat agricultural landscape dotted with villages and hamlets.
The SY4 postcode covers a wide area of north Shropshire, including Baschurch, Shawbury, Myddle, Hadnall, and numerous smaller villages. The housing stock across this area is diverse — from Victorian terraces in Wem town centre to rural farmhouses, agricultural conversions, and modern village developments.
Phil surveys properties across the entire SY4 area, providing the same professional service to rural village properties as to town centre homes. His knowledge of north Shropshire's housing stock ensures accurate, thorough assessments and practical improvement advice.

Baschurch and Shawbury have their own distinct housing stocks, with a mix of period and modern properties.

In Wem's housing stock, the most common EPC improvements are loft insulation top-up, cavity wall insulation in 1930s–1980s properties, boiler replacement, and the addition of heating controls.

EPCs for Every Situation in Wem
Landlords
Wem and the surrounding SY4 area have a rental market across both the town and villages. All rental properties must have a valid EPC (minimum E). Phil can advise on the most cost-effective route to compliance ahead of proposed 2028 changes.
Sellers
An EPC is legally required before marketing any property in Wem. A thorough assessment that accurately records existing insulation and heating systems can make a meaningful difference to your rating.
Buyers
Before making an offer on a Wem or north Shropshire property, check the EPC rating. Rural properties with oil heating can be expensive to run — Phil can advise on realistic improvement costs.
Floor Plans
Professional floor plans can be added to any EPC survey in Wem. 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 including any travel supplement.

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.
