New Open Property Group research found that just 41% of homes in England meet the recommended Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of ‘C’ or above. This is just a 1% increase compared to the previous year.
The EPC scale is ranked from A-G and is used to measure the efficiency of a property based on the level of its emissions, its potential heat or energy loss and its likely fuel costs.
