TUESDAY 21 APRIL 10:00AM – 11:00AM
Six million households are forced to choose between heating and eating in the UK¹
With wholesale gas prices up 67%, and oil prices up 35% in just two weeks², energy efficiency has once again become a central concern for buyers, sellers and landlords.
In moments like these, homeowners look to agents to be the experts – the people who can break down upcoming EPC changes, highlight which upgrades genuinely add value, and confidently handle conversations around low ratings without losing viewer interest.
In this session, Anna Moore, CEO & Co‑Founder of a leading retrofit firm, will outline the upcoming legislative changes agents need to be aware of.
You’ll learn:
📉 The incoming EPC legislation changes
EPCs are being redesigned, alongside tougher marketing requirements agents must follow. We’ll cover what the EPC C minimum standard means for rentals, and how to guide your clients through the transition.
📝 How EPC ratings influence buyer and tenant behaviour
The latest insights into how less efficient homes perform in consumer searches, where buyer drop‑off typically occurs, and how viewing numbers differ across EPC bands A to G.
💡 The marketing strategies for low‑EPC homes
How to positively reframe a property’s EPC potential, spotlight key upgrades and explain costs simply.
💷 The core funding and affordability routes for homeowners
A clear breakdown of schemes such as Warm Homes, how to identify when a client could qualify, and how to use funding options to keep sellers and landlords engaged by showing realistic, affordable pathways.
🏚️ Which upgrades have the highest impact on perceived value
Which improvements genuinely reduce running costs and boost valuations, how to guide owners away from low‑value works, and why upgrade cost, ease and impact vary across different build types.
⚡ The differences between smart readiness and renewable heating
How both smart readiness and renewable heating will influence the new EPC scoring, and how the updated EPC criteria align with the Decent Homes standards.
