What this means for landlords in Hove

  • 217 Hove rental homes are rated EPC D and are just a few points from reaching EPC C.
  • 876 Hove rental homes rely on assumed defaults, which significantly reduce the EPC ratings.
  • Manual evidence may unlock Band C faster than major retrofit work.
  • Flat stock dominates poor ratings, so loft insulation, glazing verification, and heating controls are often the biggest wins.
