Turn a Merton EPC into useful next questions

Merton Council offers household retrofit guidance ranging from low-cost changes to substantial whole-home improvements, with an accessible version available. Read it alongside the EPC to distinguish changes in how you use energy from upgrades to the building and fixed equipment. For an assessment in Wimbledon, Mitcham or Morden, prepare evidence of the home’s existing construction and installed measures. A thermostat setting or tariff choice is different from adding insulation or replacing a heating system; make the permanent changes since the last certificate clear to the assessor.

If you are planning a staged refurbishment, create a simple record of what has been completed and what remains proposed. Include separate details for extensions, roof rooms and any different wall construction where known. Merton’s retrofit guidance can help you investigate the relationship between insulation, ventilation, heating and renewable technologies, rather than choosing isolated measures from the recommendation list. For a leasehold flat, establish which improvements require agreement from the freeholder or other owners. If you then explore financial support, check current eligibility directly with the relevant service; neither the EPC rating nor a recommendation guarantees assistance.
