Under the 2026 table, a multi-family home receives 11 points for EPC D and 37 for EPC A: a difference of 26. The actual EPC must first be achieved and registered. Other WWS components, the WOZ cap and the rental rules can change the final outcome.

FAQ

Good to know in advance.

Does 187 points automatically mean private sector?+

No. The initial rent, contract date and applicable rules also matter. The WWS calculation is an essential part of the assessment, not the only condition.

Can a better EPC add enough points?+

Sometimes, but only if the improved EPC is actually achieved and registered. Royal Label can calculate scenarios without promising the outcome in advance.

Why is an on-site measurement useful?+

Small differences in usable area, amenities or outdoor space may affect the total. A defensible calculation starts with accurate input.
