EPC ratings range from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). Each rating corresponds to an energy efficiency score and indicates how much you're likely to spend on energy bills.

Very efficient. Low energy costs. Well-insulated modern properties.
Above average. Proposed minimum for rentals by 2028.
Average UK rating. Room for improvement with insulation.
Below average. Current minimum for rental properties.
Poor efficiency. Cannot be legally rented without exemption.
Least efficient. High energy bills. Significant improvements needed.
The average EPC rating in England and Wales is D (score 60). Properties with ratings of A or B can command higher sale prices and rental values, as buyers and tenants value lower energy costs.
