How FY2 compares
Well above average
A bigger share of FY2's rented homes fall short than in most of England and Wales.
64% of rented homes here are below EPC C, against 53% across England and Wales. That ranks FY2 668 of 2,213 districts by the share needing work.
Every band in FY2
Of 1,948 privately rented homes with a current certificate, out of 8,746 properties of all tenures.
1,080 of those 1,237 homes already have a potential rating of C or better on their existing certificate. Landlords are required to spend up to £10,000 per property. Above that, an exemption may apply.
Who regulates FY2
Enforcement sits with the council, and postcode districts do not follow council boundaries.

What to do next
Start with the certificate. It lists the measures an assessor has already recommended for the property and the rating they would reach. If it has expired, you need a new one before you can let the property anyway.
