Salford — from MediaCityUK to Victorian terraces
Salford has transformed over the past two decades, from the MediaCityUK and Salford Quays waterfront development — home to the BBC, ITV, and a growing number of new-build apartments — to the University of Salford's significant student population around Peel Park. Alongside this newer development, much of Salford's housing stock is Victorian and Edwardian terraces in areas like Ordsall, Pendleton, and Weaste. Move-Nest's accredited assessors cover every Salford postcode at the same price as central Manchester.

Do I need an EPC for a flat in Salford?+

I have a student HMO near the University of Salford — do I need an EPC?+

What EPC rating is typical for a terrace in Ordsall or Pendleton?+
Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Ordsall and Pendleton typically rate D or E due to solid brick walls and older heating systems. Your EPC report includes a tailored improvement section showing what upgrades would raise the rating.
