EPC in Newport

Book an EPC in Newport with an accredited local assessor, one clear price including VAT and the certificate lodged for you. Most EPC work here falls into two camps: Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Maindee, Stow Hill and Pill, and post-war and new-build estates out towards Rogerstone, Duffryn and Glan Llyn. The two produce very different ratings, and the improvements worth making are not the same.

How much does an EPC cost in Newport?

EPCs from £39.99 — Get your exact EPC price based on your property details before you book.

Your price depends on the property itself, so the quote journey confirms it in about a minute — no obligation and nothing to pay until you choose to book.

There are no booking fees and no charge for arranging access with a tenant or agent. You see your full price before you commit to anything. Commercial premises are priced separately because the assessment is a different piece of work — start a quote and we will price it properly rather than guess.

How quickly can I get an EPC in Newport?

Newport is our home patch — our office is on the Wern Industrial Estate in NP10 — so an assessor is usually nearby rather than travelling in. In practice the timing is driven by access: where the property is empty or you hold the keys we can usually get in quickly, and where a tenant or agent has to be co-ordinated, arranging access is normally what takes the time.

  1. Booking the visit — We contact you, the tenant or the agent to agree a time. Occupied properties usually take a little longer to arrange because access has to suit everyone.
  2. At the property — A typical domestic assessment takes 30 to 60 minutes. The assessor needs access to every room, the loft hatch and the boiler.
  3. Certificate lodged — Once the assessment has been checked, your certificate is lodged on the national register and emailed to you.

We do not advertise same-day, 24-hour or next-working-day turnaround. If you are working to a deadline — an agent waiting to market the property, or a tenancy that starts next week — tell us when you book and we will say honestly whether we can meet it before you pay.

What Newport property owners should know

Older Newport terraces frequently have solid brick walls with no cavity to fill, original suspended timber floors and part-replaced glazing, which tends to hold ratings in the D to E range. Newer estates on the eastern side of the city usually land in B or C with little effort. Our assessors cover the whole of NP10, NP11, NP18, NP19 and NP20 and regularly work in Caerleon, Rogerstone and Cwmbran on the same round.

We also cover Caerleon, Rogerstone, Cwmbran, Risca and the surrounding South Wales area, across NP10, NP11, NP18, NP19, NP20.

What's included

What we see in Newport properties

Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Maindee, Stow Hill, Pill and Clarence Place usually have solid brick walls with no cavity to fill, suspended timber floors and glazing that has been replaced in stages. They commonly land in band D or E, and the improvement that moves them most is loft insulation topped up to current depth plus a modern condensing boiler and heating controls.

Post-war estate housing in Bettws, Ringland, Alway and Duffryn is mostly cavity-walled. Where the cavity has been filled and the loft is properly insulated these regularly assess at a solid C. Where a room has been built into the roof, the insulation in that part of the property is often the weak point.

Newer developments at Glan Llyn, Rogerstone and Celtic Horizons are usually B or C without any work. City-centre and converted flats need a certificate per self-contained dwelling — one certificate for the whole building is not valid, which catches out landlords buying converted townhouses on Stow Hill.

Do you cover my part of Newport?

Yes — we cover the whole city and the surrounding villages, across NP10, NP11, NP18, NP19 and NP20. These are the areas we work in most often:

If your property sits just outside the city — Cwmbran, Risca, Magor or Chepstow — we cover those too on the same rounds. Put the postcode into the booking form and it will tell you straight away whether an accredited assessor covers it.

Who needs an EPC in Newport?

Selling a property

An EPC has to be commissioned before the property goes on the market, and Newport agents will normally ask for it before photographs are taken. If the last certificate was lodged more than ten years ago it no longer counts, even if the property has not changed.

Letting a property

A valid EPC must be in place before a tenancy starts and must be given to the tenant. In Wales the certificate also sits alongside the other documents you need for a Renting Homes occupation contract.

Landlords

Rented property must currently reach band E or better, or have a registered exemption. Newport's older terraces are where this bites hardest — read our guide to EPC rules for landlords before you re-let.

EPC in Newport — common questions

How much is an EPC in Newport?
One price covers domestic properties in Newport from a studio to a five-bedroom house, including VAT, the assessor's visit, lodging the certificate and your recommendation report. The current figure is shown on this page and is taken from the same booking system you pay through, so it is never out of date. Commercial premises are priced separately.
How quickly can you get an EPC done in Newport?
It depends mostly on access. Once we can get into the property, Newport is our home patch and an assessor is usually already working nearby. Where a property is empty or you hold the keys, appointments are typically arranged quickly; where a tenant or agent has to be co-ordinated, arranging access is normally what takes the time. Your certificate is lodged on the national register and emailed to you once the assessment has been checked. We do not advertise same-day or next-day turnaround — tell us your deadline when you book and we will say honestly whether we can meet it.
Do you cover my area of Newport?
We cover the whole city and the surrounding villages across NP10, NP11, NP18, NP19 and NP20 — city centre, Maindee, Stow Hill, Pill, Rogerstone, Caerleon, Bassaleg, Malpas, Ringland, Bettws, Duffryn, Llanwern, Gaer, Beechwood, Alway and Langstone among them, plus Cwmbran, Risca, Magor and Chepstow nearby.
Who carries out the EPC?
An accredited domestic energy assessor working to a recognised scheme. Newport assessments are handled by assessors who work in the city regularly rather than travelling in from elsewhere.
What happens during the assessment?
The assessor records the construction, heating, hot water, insulation, glazing and controls, and takes photographic evidence. They need access to every room, the loft hatch and the boiler. A typical domestic assessment takes 30 to 60 minutes.
Do I need a separate EPC for each flat in a Newport conversion?
Yes. Each self-contained dwelling needs its own certificate — one certificate for a whole converted townhouse is not valid. Several flats can usually be assessed in one visit, which keeps the cost down.
How long does an EPC assessment take?
Most domestic assessments take between 30 and 60 minutes at the property. Larger or unusual properties can take longer.
How long is an EPC valid for?
Ten years from the date it is lodged on the national register. You can reuse a valid certificate for a new sale or tenancy within that period.
Do I need to be there for the assessment?
Someone needs to give the assessor access to every room, the loft hatch and the boiler. That can be you, a tenant or the agent holding the keys.
Can I get an EPC for a property that is tenanted?
Yes. We arrange access directly with the tenant and give proper notice so nobody is caught out.
What happens if the property is rated F or G?
It cannot normally be let until improvements are made or an exemption is registered. The recommendation report on your certificate sets out what would raise the rating.
