Based on the landscape in early 2026, now is an excellent time to invest in a retrofit assessment of your property. With the government confirming that privately rented properties must reach a minimum EPC Band C by October 1, 2030, and rising energy costs, proactivity is crucial to avoid future, more expensive, reactive measures. A retrofit assessment (conducted under PAS 2035) goes beyond a standard Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to provide a detailed, "whole-house" roadmap for energy improvements. With energy prices remaining high, a retrofit assessment helps identify where energy is being lost (e.g., poor insulation, draughts), with potential upgrades reducing energy bills by up to 40%. Torcello Properties provide comprehensive Domestic Energy and Retrofit assessment services to clients across the Midlands and offer a 10% discount to all UKHN members on the first project they engage us in. Schedule a call on our calendly link https://calendly.com/alan-torcello/chat to discuss your requirement today or catch me in person at the UK Homes Network Live event this evening.
