Frequently asked questions
How do I find the EPC for a property in DT3?
Search the address on our free EPC register check. It pulls the certificate straight from the official register for England and Wales, including the score, band and recommended measures.
How long does an EPC last?
Ten years from the date it was lodged. You only need a new one when the old certificate expires and you want to sell or let the property again.
What band do I need to let a property?
At least band E today under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard. Government has consulted on raising the requirement to band C for new tenancies later this decade.
Why do so many DT3 homes sit below band C?
Band is driven mainly by construction age, wall type and heating fuel. Older solid-wall homes on older boilers rarely reach C without insulation and a heating upgrade.
