Methodology
Every domestic Energy Performance Certificate lodged for a London address, by band. Band C is the level repeatedly proposed as a minimum for rented homes. This is NOT a survey of London's housing: a certificate is lodged when a home is built, sold or let, so the register is the transacted and rented part of the stock accumulated since 2008, and a house lived in by the same owner since 2005 is absent from it entirely. It also counts certificates rather than homes — a flat sold twice and let once appears three times.
