What to know locally
- Most homes here are flats in modern or converted blocks, which is why 82% of homes in B1 and 96% in B4 are rated C or above.
- Each flat needs its own EPC when it is sold or let. Landlords of leasehold flats may need the freeholder's consent for work such as insulation or new windows; if consent is refused, the third-party consent exemption can apply.
- The Jewellery Quarter is a conservation area with many listed buildings. The government plans to require EPCs for listed buildings when they are sold or let, ending the current exemption.
