Domestic & Commercial Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) Tewkesbury
We provide EPCs in Tewkesbury and across Gloucestershire for both Domestic and Commercial properties. A valid EPC is required to be in place before the sale or rental of your property. The EPC survey itself is entirely non intrusive and won't damage the building in any way. Once the survey is complete the EPC report will be produced, which gives the building an Energy Performance Rating rating on a scale from A to G.
For most rental properties an EPC rating of E or better is required, in compliance with the Minimum Energy Efficiency (MEES) legislations of 2018. For properties for sale, MEES legislation does not yet apply, however an ever increasing number of financial institutions require properties to demonstrate they would be MEES compliant before agreeing mortgage funding.
Across Tewkesbury, the most common domestic EPC band is C, with 58% of homes rated C or above and an average energy-efficiency score of 69 out of 100. Commercial properties in the wider Tewkesbury area have an average rating of C 63 (UK average D 77).
There is real room to improve: the average Tewkesbury home could raise its score by about 15 points, and 68% could improve by 10 points or more. The average home here emits roughly 3.2 tonnes of CO₂ a year.
Around 60% of homes in Tewkesbury are owner-occupied and 26% are privately rented. About 72% are houses and 17% flats, and 76% are heated by mains gas. On the fabric, 85% have insulated cavity walls and 89% are fully double-glazed or better.
Letting a property in Tewkesbury? About 50% of privately rented homes here are rated below an EPC C, the level the government has proposed as a future minimum for rented homes, and 2.1% are rated F or G, below the EPC E minimum needed to let a home today. We can carry out the EPC and advise on the most cost-effective way to improve the rating.
New-build makes up about 18% of certificates in Tewkesbury, averaging a band B. New builds need a SAP calculation and an as-built EPC, both of which we provide.
These figures are from analysis of the 6,818 currently valid domestic EPCs for Tewkesbury in the publicly available government data set, covering certificates lodged in the ten years to 2026-08-16 (one per property, its latest). Values are medians/averages from the source data.

For properties for which we have produced an EPC in Tewkesbury, if shown not to meet MEES targets, we can then provide tailored advice on the least disruptive and most cost effective ways to improve the building to achieve the targeted rating. We are happy to provide more in depth MEES advice, including on MEES Exemptions so please Contact Us for more information.
