Leicester EPC ratings broken down by band
Band C came top for home EPCs lodged in Leicester between 1 October 2025 and 30 September 2026, at 51.5%, followed by band D at 34.6%. Each band appears in the table next to England's figure.
The source is table D1, for the Leicester council area, in the MHCLG live tables on energy performance certificates. Homes often get a new certificate when they're sold, let or improved, so the whole housing stock isn't reflected in this mix.

Finding the EPC for a Leicester home
A postcode search of the GOV.UK register lets you pick the address you want. Viewing a certificate costs nothing, and saving it is free too. An EPC stays valid for 10 years, so look at its date (how long an EPC lasts). If a home doesn't show up, the EPC register page tells you what to do.
