BS41 is around the national average for energy efficiency.
3.4% of homes are rated F or G — above the national average of 2.9%.
Data from 1,831 property assessments shows BS41 averaging 66 out of 100, placing it around the national average. For reference, the England and Wales average is 67 — so BS41 is around that benchmark. The most common rating band is C, with 9.8% of homes rated A or B and 74.7% in the C or D bands. Meanwhile, 3.4% of homes sit in the F or G bands — the least efficient categories. In practical terms, a C rating suggests reasonably efficient homes, though there is still room for improvement on heating and insulation.
Walk through BS41 and you will mostly see houses. Around 73% of properties are owner-occupied . Gas central heating is the main fuel source for 92% of homes, which is typical for urban areas across England.
There is genuine room for improvement here. If every recommended upgrade were carried out, the average score could climb from 66 to 80 — a 14-point jump that would lift the typical rating to C.

Frequently asked questions
What is the average EPC rating in BS41?
Homes in BS41 have an average EPC rating of D, scoring 66 out of 100 for energy efficiency. That figure comes from 1,831 certificates issued across the district.
This is broadly in line with the national average of 67 — neither particularly efficient nor particularly wasteful. A D rating typically means higher-than-necessary heating bills, especially in older properties without adequate insulation.
What percentage of homes in BS41 are rated F or G?
3.4% of homes in BS41 fall into the F or G bands — the lowest energy efficiency ratings. Nationally, the figure is 2.9%.
That means BS41 has a higher-than-average proportion of poorly insulated homes. On the positive side, many of these properties may qualify for free improvements through government schemes like ECO4 or the Great British Insulation Scheme. Landlords should note that F and G rated properties cannot legally be rented out under current MEES rules.
