EPC rating and sold prices in South West

In South West, homes rated EPC C or better sold for 3% more per square metre than D–G homes (median £3,162 vs £3,068, 1,008,069 sales since 2015), but like for like the difference is 0.0% (95% range −0.3% to +0.3%): the EPC band itself is not reflected in sale prices here (random sample of 300,000 sales). Data: HM Land Registry to 30 September 2026, EPC register.

From the raw gap to like-for-like

Dot: difference for C+ homes; line: 95% range. Each step holds one more thing equal; the last is like for like

Comparing C+ with D–G homes…	Difference	95% range
Raw gap per m² (medians)	+3%	—
Whole price, nothing held equal	−3.0%	−3.3% to −2.6%
Same floor area	+2.2%	+2.0% to +2.4%
+ same property type	+3.5%	+3.3% to +3.8%
+ same build period	+3.3%	+3.0% to +3.6%
+ same year of sale	0.0%	−0.3% to +0.3%

The first row compares median prices per m²; the second compares whole prices; each later row adds one more thing that must be equal, ending with the like-for-like premium (regression of log price; build period from the certificate, 12 bands). The raw gap per m² and the whole-price gap differ because C+ and D–G homes differ in size.

▲ green: premium distinguishable from zero; ▼ red: discount; plain: no measurable difference. Small areas have fewer sales, so their 95% ranges are wider.

How this is calculated

Every standard sale (HM Land Registry Price Paid, category A) since January 2015 is matched to the latest energy certificate of the same address (postcode + house number or name + flat) lodged from 10 years before to 3 months after the sale; sales with no certificate or an ambiguous match are left out. Across England and Wales 92% of sales match.
Price per m² uses the certificate's total floor area (15–1,000 m²).
Like-for-like premium: regression of the log of price on “C or better”, log floor area, property type, the certificate's build period and the year of sale. The 95% range shows how precise the estimate is; when it includes zero, the data cannot tell the premium apart from none.

Caveats

The band is the one on the certificate before the sale; certificates are a median 0.8 years old at the sale, but a quarter are over 4 years old and some homes were improved since.
Condition, garden, parking, views and the exact position within the sector are not known; a premium could hide in them, or they could hide one.
Individual sales and addresses are not shown.
