Local knowledge

Dover, beneath the White Cliffs.

Dover sits between the White Cliffs and the castle, with the port at its heart. Victorian terraces fill the valleys of Maxton and Tower Hamlets, with post-war estates in River and growing new-build areas at Whitfield.

It has one of the highest concentrations of rented homes in East Kent – and our 01304 number is a local call from Dover.

Dover’s homes

What we see in Dover, and what it means for your rating.

Victorian terraces

Solid walls and thin lofts; loft insulation and controls are the cheaper first steps.

Post-war estates

River and Whitfield homes often have unfilled cavities – a low-cost improvement.

Flat conversions

Each flat has its own rating and its own route to band C.

New builds

Whitfield developments usually rate well. Check the new-build EPC date.
