What is different when you are a landlord?
Northern Ireland sets its own rules for private rented homes, separate from Great Britain, so check the current position on nidirect. Loft insulation alone rarely moves a whole EPC band, but it is one of the first measures an assessor looks for. More about loft insulation for a rented home.

Questions about loft insulation for a rented home in County Down
Can you quote for several properties in County Down?
Yes. Landlords and agents can send a list of addresses and we will survey them in as few visits as we can.
Are your prices the same across County Down?
Yes. Our guide prices are the same everywhere we work, and they include normal travel. Your fixed price depends on your loft, not your postcode.
Can you work around tenants?
Yes. We arrange access directly with tenants if you want, and most lofts are done in a day.
Will loft insulation improve my EPC rating?
It usually adds points, and from no insulation it can be significant. Whether it moves a whole band depends on the rest of the property.
