8. What is energy retrofit?

An energy retrofit involves upgrading your property to improve Home Energy Efficiency. This could include measures such as insulation, double glazing, solar panels, heat pumps, or ventilation upgrades. The goal is to save energy, reduce bills, and increase comfort while adding property value.

Our energy retrofit plan, with design and tender is priced at 7%(+VAT) of the project’s total capital expenditure (capex), providing a comprehensive, tailored solution for your property.

With Ivynest:
Our energy retrofit coordination is priced at 10%(+VAT) of the project’s total capital expenditure (capex), providing site management, on-site progress review, quality control, valuations, contract administration, and final handover management.

Our SAP assessment is priced at £150.00 (+VAT), providing SAP calculations and lodging your EPC rating to ensure compliance with energy efficiency standards .

The duration of an energy retrofit depends on the scope of work, property type, and the specific measures implemented. A basic retrofit, such as insulation and ventilation improvements, can take a few weeks (excluding design and lead time), while a comprehensive whole-house retrofit (including heat pump installation, solar PV, and deep insulation upgrades) may take 2 months (excluding design and lead time). At Ivynest, we provide a detailed timeline as part of your retrofit plan, ensuring minimal disruption to your home or tenants.

Yes! Every energy retrofit plan includes a projected ROI based on energy savings and property value increases. Our aim is to help you lower your bills and increase your Home Energy Efficiency and market appeal.

Payment terms for an energy retrofit depend on the specific services:

  • Home Energy Retrofit Plan – Payment is due 30 days after issue.
  • Energy Retrofit Coordination – Payments are made on progress, invoiced in stages and due 30 days after invoicing.
  • EPC Assessment Pro – This operates on a subscription-based model (like SaaS), with payments made monthly upfront.

Additionally, Ivynest helps identify grants, incentives, and financing options to make retrofits more affordable. Full details of payment structures and financing opportunities are included in your tailored retrofit plan.

James’ Pre-Purchase EPC Insight

While viewing a £475,000 Victorian terrace in East London, James noticed solid brick walls and an old gas boiler, raising doubts about its advertised “C” EPC rating. To be sure, he used Ivynest’s EPC validation tool, which revealed that, given the property lacked insulation and had an inefficient heating system, the EPC rating was more likely to be an “E” or even an “F.”

Armed with this information, James negotiated a £15,000 reduction in the asking price to cover necessary upgrades. Post-purchase, he retrofitted the home with proper insulation and air source heat pump, achieving a true “C” rating and cutting his energy bills by 40%.
James praised Ivynest for empowering him to secure a better deal and avoid a costly mistake

Sarah’s Journey to a Fair Sale Price

 

Sarah, a homeowner in Manchester, was gearing up to sell her three-bedroom semi-detached property. An EPC assessment rated her home as an “E,” stating that the property lacked sufficient insulation and energy efficiency measures. Sarah was surprised—she had invested in loft insulation and a biomass boiler a few years prior. The “E” rating significantly reduced buyer interest, and potential offers were tens of thousands below her expected sale price.

Determined to challenge the rating, Sarah turned to Ivynest’s EPC validation tool. The platform flagged key errors in the initial assessment, including missed details about her loft insulation and a miscalculation of her double-glazed windows. After a proper reassessment using Ivynest’s system, her home was upgraded to a “C” rating. With the improved rating, Sarah relisted her property and saw immediate results—interest soared, and she accepted an offer £45,000 higher than before. Sarah credits Ivynest for ensuring her home’s energy efficiency was fairly represented.
