Spon End runs from the medieval survivors of Spon Street out past the railway viaduct to the Butts, and its homes range from timber-framed cottages to 1960s deck-access flats and brand-new student blocks. We assess all of them, and we know which rules apply to a listed building.
Yes. NextDay EPC assesses homes and commercial premises across Spon End (CV1), from the timber-framed and Victorian properties in the Spon Street conservation area to the post-war estate flats and the newer student developments around the Butts and Holyhead Road. Assessors are Coventry-based and next-day slots are usually available.
Spon Street holds Coventry's best-known group of medieval buildings, several of them moved here from elsewhere in the city during the 1960s, and beyond the ring road the district continues with Victorian terraces on Upper Spon Street and Barras Lane. The railway viaduct of 1838 divides the older streets from the Spon End estate, rebuilt by the council in the 1960s, while the Butts has filled with student accommodation serving both universities. The River Sherbourne threads through the whole area, mostly hidden.
Timber-framed and early brick buildings in the conservation area lose heat through their walls and single-glazed windows, so they rarely score above E. A listed building is exempt from the requirement to hold an EPC only where the works needed to improve it would unacceptably alter its character, and that judgement has to be made property by property; we will tell you honestly whether an exemption is realistic. For the 1960s flats the picture is reversed: shared walls keep losses low and the usual weak point is dated heating.
Landlords letting to students near the Butts need a C-band plan for 2030 as well as a valid certificate now. Because many Spon End houses were extended into the roof or rear yard decades ago, the assessor allows extra time to measure and to check whether those additions are insulated. If you are selling a period property, having the certificate in hand before listing avoids the common delay when a buyer's solicitor asks for it.

Spon Street, Upper Spon Street, Butts Road and the rest of Spon End in CV1.
Listed buildings are exempt only if meeting the EPC's minimum energy requirements would unacceptably alter their character or appearance. That is a judgement for each property, not a blanket rule. We can assess the building and tell you what improvements would be compatible with its listing.
Yes. Purpose-built student blocks are assessed either as individual studios or as cluster flats, depending on how the tenancy is let. Managing agents usually book a batch so the assessor can work through the building in one visit.
