Every home, with its next step
Each address is matched to its newest certificate and checked against the band E minimum that applies today and the band C minimum proposed from 1 October 2030.
- Homes that need action come first, most urgent at the top.
- Filter by passing, not passing, expiring soon or no certificate.
- Homes worth re-testing before 1 October 2029 are listed for you.

A costed route to band C
The assessor's own recommendations are added up in order until the home reaches band C, then compared with the proposed £10,000 spending cap.
- Works, points gained and cost range for each step.
- A clear flag when the total is above the cap and an exemption may apply.
- Costs are the assessor's planning figures from the certificate, not quotes.
14 Sample Road, ZZ1 4AB
Band D, 61 points. Below band C.
- Loft insulation top-upTakes the home to 64 points, band D£300 to £500
- Cavity wall insulationTakes the home to 68 points, band D£900 to £1,500
- Heating controlsTakes the home to 70 points, band C£350 to £450
Indicative total: £1,550 to £2,450. That is within the £10,000 cap on what a landlord must spend.
Told when something changes
The register is read again every day. You hear about it only when a home needs your attention.
- An email 180, 90 and 30 days before a certificate expires, and on the day it does.
- An email when a replacement certificate appears on the register.
- A monthly summary of the whole book. Both can be switched off.
Email alerts are being switched on. Until then, changes appear on your portfolio screen.

What EPCBand does not do
- Scotland and Northern Ireland
- They keep separate registers with different rules. EPCBand covers England and Wales.
- Commercial property
- Homes only. Shops, offices and other non-domestic certificates are not included.
- Quotes
- Costs come from the certificate. Get a contractor's quote before a landlord commits to works.
- Legal advice
- It applies published rules to public data. The band C date and the cost cap are government proposals that are not yet law.
The dates that matter
Band E is the legal minimum for a let home.
A band F or G home needs a registered exemption. Certificates last ten years from the day they are lodged.
Planned as the last day to lodge a certificate on the current rating.
A home that scores C on a certificate lodged before this date counts as compliant until that certificate expires or is replaced.
Band C is planned to become the minimum for every tenancy in England and Wales.
The maximum fine today is £5,000 per property. A Bill before Parliament would raise it to £30,000.
The 2029 and 2030 dates, the cost cap and the higher fine come from the government's January 2026 response to its consultation on minimum energy efficiency standards and the Energy Independence Bill. They are not yet law, so this page is updated if they change.

Questions
How do I add my homes?
Upload a spreadsheet of addresses, or look them up by postcode. Each address is matched to its certificate for you. Where two addresses look alike, you choose the right one once.
Does it cover Scotland and Northern Ireland?
Not yet. They keep separate registers and have different rules. EPCBand covers England and Wales.
How accurate are the upgrade costs?
They are the indicative costs printed on each certificate by the assessor, so they are a planning figure and not a quote. Older certificates carry older prices. Get a contractor's quote before a landlord commits to works.
Is this legal advice?
No. It applies the published rules to public data so you can see where each home stands. For a decision on a specific tenancy or exemption, speak to a qualified adviser.
