How to Use Your EPC Recommendation Report to Add Property Value

When you receive an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), it comes with a Recommendation Report—a powerful tool that can help improve both your property’s energy efficiency and market value. At Urgent EPC, we not only provide fast and reliable EPC assessments across London, but we also help homeowners and landlords make the most of these energy-saving suggestions.

 What is the EPC Recommendation Report?

Every EPC issued includes a Recommendation Report listing practical improvements tailored to your property. These are usually divided into:

  • Lower-cost improvements (like LED lighting or thermostatic radiator valves)

  • Higher-cost improvements (like boiler upgrades or installing wall insulation)

These recommendations are based on data gathered during your EPC assessment and aligned with government-approved energy efficiency strategies.

 How the Recommendation Report Adds Value

  1. Enhance Property Appeal
    Upgrading your property to a better EPC rating (e.g. from D to C) makes it more attractive to buyers and renters, who are increasingly prioritising energy efficiency.

  2. Compliance with Rental Regulations
    Landlords are required to meet Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES)—currently a minimum EPC rating of E. Future legislation may require a rating of C, so acting on the report now helps avoid penalties and future retrofits.

  3. Lower Utility Bills
    Implementing recommended changes can significantly reduce energy usage, lowering bills and increasing comfort.

  4. Increase Property Market Value
    Properties with higher EPC ratings are often valued higher on the market due to long-term cost savings and environmental impact.

 Recommended Steps You Can Take

  • Install loft or wall insulation

  • Replace older boilers with A-rated systems

  • Upgrade to double glazing

  • Install smart heating controls
