Every property in your portfolio needs a route to C.
From 1 October 2030, a rented home needs EPC C or it can't be let. We map your whole portfolio's exposure for free, schedule the works into rental voids that are happening anyway rather than around a sitting tenant, and hand you the assessment and schedule under your own brand.

The numbers your landlords will ask you about
- 1 October 2030
- The date rented homes are expected to need EPC C. More than half of England's private rented homes are currently rated D or below.
- £10,000
- The proposed per-property cost cap — the most a landlord can be required to spend before an exemption applies.
- £30,000
- Proposed maximum penalty per non-compliant property.
- Band E
- Today's legal floor. F and G rated properties already can't be let — that part isn't coming in 2030, it's the law now.
The distance between those two is the service
We arrange the route from one to the other: the assessment, the schedule, the works and the evidence. What we never do is promise the band — the rating is set by an independent assessor, not by us, and where a property cannot reach C we say so in writing before anyone spends money on works.

Dashboards tell you the problem. We take it.
Portfolio assessment
Every property checked against the public EPC register: current rating, certificate expiry, and its position against today's rules and 2030. Delivered in days, not months.
Forward void schedule
Each non-compliant property mapped to its tenancy-end date: which property voids when, what it's likely to need, and the order to work through the book. Estimated from register data, firmed up by the on-site assessment on the properties you take further.
Evidence pack
When works complete: the before/after certificates, the works record, and the independent post-works EPC — one pack your landlord can file and you can point to.
Your portfolio stays yours. In writing.
Your portfolio is your biggest asset. Here's exactly how we treat it:
We're a maintenance firm, not an agency
My EPC Partner is a trading style of Always There Ltd, a West London building firm established 2015. We don't manage lets and we can't take your landlords. A supplier, not a competitor.
A signed data agreement, first
One page, signed before any of your property data reaches us: non-solicitation of your landlords, every communication routed through you, no sharing or reselling, deletion within 14 days on request. Read it in full.
Your brand on the reporting
Reports and schedules carry your name, for you to present to your landlords as your own compliance service. The works are carried out and invoiced in our name, not yours, so the building liability sits with us. Every instruction goes through you, property by property.
Assessment to evidence, timed to your voids
Get the position
Addresses and postcodes are enough. Days later you have the full portfolio picture and the forward void schedule.
You choose what to send us
Property by property, on your schedule. Nothing moves until you send it to us. A referral fee on the works you send is agreed in writing.
We deliver at the rental void
On-site assessment, firm quote, works, independent post-works EPC and the evidence pack — inside the void, while the property is already empty.
Take 2030 off your desk
Free desktop assessment of the whole portfolio. A live forward schedule under your brand. An on-site assessment only where you ask for one, credited in full against the works. Works delivered in the void, in our name, on the properties you release. A referral fee on everything you send us. In exchange: preferred-supplier status on your void works. That's the whole deal.
What does the free assessment involve?
The portfolio goes through the public EPC register — addresses and postcodes are enough. We pull every certificate, classify each property against today’s rules and the 2030 EPC C requirement, and map the non-compliant ones to their tenancy-end dates. You get the whole picture back, plus a forward schedule. Then nothing happens until you release a property to us: one at a time, only the ones you choose, and you can stop at any point. No site visits, no cost, no obligation.
Do we have to hand over our landlord list?
No. The book stays yours, and we never see it. What the desktop assessment runs on is addresses and postcodes — nothing about the landlords themselves, no names and no contact details, because the public EPC register is keyed on the property. After that you release properties to us one at a time, only the ones you choose, and you can stop at any point. We sign the one-page data agreement before any of your property data reaches us: a non-solicitation covenant (we never contact your landlords), all communication routed through you, no sharing or reselling, and deletion within 14 days on request. We are a maintenance firm, not an agency — we can’t take your landlords and don’t want to.
Whose name goes on the reports?
It depends which document. The desktop assessment and the forward void schedule are ours to produce, so they can carry your branding and you present them to your landlords as your own compliance service — that is an offer, not an assumption, and we ask before the first one goes out. The on-site assessment and the new EPC certificate both go in the landlord’s name. The assessment is the professional report of the qualified assessor who carried it out, and the certificate is lodged against the property by an independent assessor — the landlord owns the property, holds the certificate and relies on both, so neither carries your brand or ours.
What’s in it for us beyond compliance?
A referral fee on the works you send us, recorded in writing, plus a portfolio that stays lettable past 2030 without you project-managing any of it. You look ahead of the problem in front of your landlords.
Who actually does the works?
The Always There Ltd team — a West London building firm established 2015, with its own trades in-house. The post-works EPC is always carried out by an independent assessor; we never certify our own work.
What does it cost?
The desktop assessment of your whole portfolio and the forward void schedule are free. On the properties you choose to take further, an on-site assessment is £395 per property, carried out by a PAS 2035 qualified, TrustMark-registered Retrofit Assessor — and it is deducted in full from the works invoice if you instruct us to do the works. The new EPC certificate is a separate line of around £120, never bundled into the works. Works themselves are quoted per property, up front, before anything starts.
Why is the on-site assessment charged when the desktop one is free?
Because the register can tell us a property is a D, but only a visit tells us what will actually move it to C — and the visit is made by a PAS 2035 qualified, TrustMark-registered Retrofit Assessor, whose time costs money. We pay that assessor a fixed fee per assessment, never a percentage of the works, so nobody in the chain earns more by finding more work. If you instruct the works, the £395 comes straight off the invoice, so the assessment costs you nothing on any property that proceeds.
