What an EPC covers in Durham
Durham is a mid-sized North East England town with private-rented stock spread across postcode areas DH1. Lower entry prices and strong gross yields drive buy-to-let demand from outside the region. Landlords letting property here must hold a valid EPC certificate before a new tenancy begins, and must renew it at least every 10 years.
Postcode areas typically covered include DH1. Engineers serving Durham may charge a small premium for properties inside congestion or low-emission zones where parking and travel times add cost.
A standard EPC inspection takes between thirty and ninety minutes depending on the size and age of the property. The accredited Domestic Energy Assessor records the property's construction, insulation, heating system and glazing, then runs the figures through the Standard Assessment Procedure to produce a rating from A to G. The certificate lasts ten years.
