EPC assessments in County Durham
County Durham's housing stock is shaped by its former coal-mining heritage — rows of Victorian colliery terraces in towns such as Consett, Stanley, and Spennymoor are common, many of which score D or below on the EPC scale. Durham city itself has a premium housing market driven by its university population, with Victorian townhouses and Victorian terraces in popular renting areas. The county's rural western areas, including Teesdale and Weardale, have older stone-built farmhouses often with oil or electric heating.
