Band by band: Newcastle EPC ratings
Newcastle home EPCs lodged between 1 October 2025 and 30 September 2026 most often fell into band C, at 58.4%; band D came next on 26.5%. Each band in the table sits beside the England figure.
The source is table D1, for the Newcastle 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 this mix isn't the whole housing stock.

EPC assessor Newcastle: getting a new certificate
A new EPC for a Newcastle home can only be lodged by an accredited domestic energy assessor. Book an EPC here, see the prices assessors reply with and compare them, or start by reading what an EPC costs.
Band E or above is what a rented home in England needs today (landlord EPC rules). See Newcastle council tax for the bills side of a home there.
