Energy Performance of Buildings Register (MHCLG), Open Government Licence v3.0, data to the end of September 2026. Existing homes only (RdSAP assessments); a home with several certificates is counted once per certificate. "Moved up to C" is estimated from a sample of the month's C-or-better certificates checked against each home's previous EPC. Monthly shares are hidden below 30 certificates. Rankings cover councils with at least 1,000 certificates on record. See how we count.
