Thank you for the info.

Had my property done last year which comes out as band F

I don't think you need this under part L anymore do you?

You have to be careful though, I just checked my address and it was there, however it is showing the OLD EPC carried out in December 2009.. as I thought that was BAD I have done the following works.

a. Ripped out the old Back Boiler, installed a new 'A' Rated Condensing Boiler in the Loft and replaced all the radiators.
b. Opened up the Fire Place, had the Chimney re-lined and fitted a 5kW Log/Coal Burning Stove.
c. Had insulation in the loft of 120mm compressed to 100mm under the boards so have added another 270mm over the boards.
d. Installed 16No. Solar Panels to the Garage Roof as it is only a 32 degree pitched tiled roof.

A recent EPC with these works took my house from an E rating to a C rating... but this new one is not showing yet on the site so don't assume the one you look at is the latest or accurate...!!!

EPCs should be registered immediately after being lodged by the DEA performing the survey. If it's not showing on the Landmark register, I would suggest contacting the DEA named on the EPC and ask why it isn't there.

It is also possible to look at previous EPCs for a property by changing the "Report Retrieval Format" from "pdf" to "List".

Thanks whinmoor, I checked with the guy that did it, because there is a previous one, it can take a couple of days to update, I have checked and found I never got a 'C', I now have a 'B' with a score of 84 on the new 'Green Deal' style EPC... it appears if I get internal or external cladding for the solid walls, then I can get an 'A'....!
