Two-thirds of British homeowners are unaware what their property's EPC rating is – with 59% of households having a poor rating, according to new data.
Nearly 14 million households in England and Wales, or 59% of domestic dwellings, have an energy performance certificate (EPC) rating of D to G, according to figures from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing, and Communities – with G being the lowest possible rating.
This leaves these homeowners vulnerable to more costly energy bills – while just under 50,000 homes are currently scoring the top EPC rating of A, with the lowest energy costs.
