Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what steps his Department is taking to maintain the accuracy of EPC ratings.
Government continues to keep the effectiveness of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) under review.
The EPC Action Plan sets out a programme of work to improve the accuracy of EPCs. This includes reviewing the underlying calculation methodology and working with the EPC assessor accreditation schemes to strengthen the arrangements for auditing assessors and their training.
