Will I recoup the cost?

Energy savings: typical 30–60% reduction. Property uplift: 5–14% premium for EPC C+ vs D-rated comps. MEES compliance: avoids £30k penalty risk. Combined payback typically 7–15 years.

Do I need a retrofit coordinator?

Recommended for deep retrofit (E or worse to C or better). Mandatory under PAS 2035 for grant-funded works. Cost £1,200–£3,500.

Will I get a new EPC after?

Yes — commission a refreshed EPC after works complete. Use a different assessor from the pre-works EPC for independence.

Does Builderr include EPC uplift in renovation quotes?

Yes — packaged into the design with measure-by-measure cost, predicted SAP score and post-completion EPC certification.
