Longford sits where the Coventry and Oxford canals meet at Hawkesbury Junction and where the M6 and the arena now dominate the skyline, and its housing runs from canal-side Victorian cottages to brand-new estates. That spread means ratings from B to E within a mile, and we assess the whole range.
Yes. NextDay EPC provides accredited Energy Performance Certificates across Longford (CV6), covering the Victorian and inter-war houses along Longford Road, Windmill Road and Grange Road, the post-war estates towards Bell Green, and the newer developments near the Coventry Building Society Arena and Rowleys Green. Next-day appointments are usually available.
Longford grew along the Longford Road turnpike and the Coventry Canal, and Hawkesbury Junction, known locally as Sutton Stop, still marks its northern tip where the Oxford Canal joins. The twentieth century added inter-war housing around Windmill Road, 1960s estates on the Bell Green side and, since 2005, the arena at Rowleys Green with new housing around it. M6 junction 3 is minutes away, which makes Longford popular with commuters and with landlords letting to arena and logistics workers.
The oldest cottages beside the canal and along Longford Road are solid-walled and usually score E unless improved. The inter-war semis and the 1960s estate houses have cavity walls, and the estate houses often have shallow lofts and original flat-roofed porches or extensions that the assessor records carefully. New-build homes near the arena were built to modern regulations and normally reassess at B or C when their first certificate expires after ten years. We do not guess from the street; every house is measured and evidenced on the day.
Longford's rental market has grown with the arena and the warehouses along the M6 corridor, and most of that stock is inter-war or 1960s housing where a C by 2030 is achievable with cavity insulation, loft top-up and a heating upgrade. We set those out in order of return on the certificate. For the older canal-side cottages the route is harder and we say so honestly rather than promising a band that solid walls will not deliver cheaply.

Longford Road, Grange Road, Windmill Road and the rest of Longford in CV6.
Yes. New-build certificates last ten years, and many of the earliest arena-side homes are now reaching that point. A modern house is measured in the same way as any other and typically reassesses at B or C.
Loft insulation, a modern boiler with full controls, double glazing and LED lighting are the practical first steps and can move an E to a D. Reaching C usually needs internal wall insulation as well. The certificate ranks each measure so you can see the effect before spending.
