Happy Customers
Paul from Preston owns a small rental portfolio and wanted to improve EPC ratings ahead of expected regulation changes.
“I had no idea where to start and was honestly dreading the cost. Ashlea talked me through the likely standards coming in, explained what changes would make the biggest impact on EPC ratings, and even helped me explore funding options. It’s rare to get this kind of support for free, and it’s saved me a huge amount of stress.”
Saira from Accrington got in touch to find out how to improve a Victorian terrace she rents out to a long-term tenant.
“I spoke to Georgianna at Greener Homes and she was brilliant—friendly, honest, and really knew her stuff. I wasn’t sure if anything could be done without major disruption, but she helped me identify smaller improvements that will still make a big difference. She followed up with written advice too. I’ll be applying this to other properties as well.”
Derek from Blackpool manages several rental properties and called to understand what funding support might be available.
“I’ve dealt with a lot of confusing grant schemes over the years, so it was refreshing to speak to someone who could just lay it all out clearly. Tamsin helped me figure out which of my tenants might qualify for support and explained the steps everyone needs to take to apply for funding. I feel a lot more confident about staying compliant and protecting my rental income.”
