Birmingham has one of the most diverse housing stocks in the UK, ranging from Victorian terraces and inter-war semis to post-war estates and high-density city-centre apartments. Older properties can face EPC challenges linked to solid wall construction, older heating systems and limited insulation, while flats often raise questions around communal heating and building fabric. A professional EPC assessment provides clarity on where a property stands and whether improvements may be needed before sale or let.

EPC delays are a frequent issue in busy markets like Birmingham, particularly when certificates are left until late in the transaction. Estate agents regularly encounter paused listings due to missing or expired EPCs. This is explored further in our guide on why EPC delays can hold up property sales:
