Major EPC reforms are on their way.
🏠 Six million households are forced to choose between heating and eating in the UK¹

In this session, Anna Moore, CEO & Founder of a leading retrofit firm, broke down the upcoming legislative changes that every agent needs to know now.
Anna covered:
📝 The incoming EPC legislation changes
EPCs are being redesigned, alongside tougher marketing requirements agents must follow. Anna outlined how the scoring system is shifting, 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
How less efficient homes perform in searches, where drop‑off typically happens, 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 potential upgrades and explain costs simply.
💷 The core funding and affordability routes for homeowners
Anna gave 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
Anna summarised 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
We also touched on how smart‑home readiness and renewable heating choices will feed into new EPC scoring, and how these changes align with Decent Homes standards.
