CV47 is around the national average for energy efficiency.
3.7% of homes are rated F or G — above the national average of 2.9%.
Data from 7,243 property assessments shows CV47 averaging 69 out of 100, placing it around the national average. For reference, the England and Wales average is 67 — so CV47 is around that benchmark. The most common rating band is B, with 32.6% of homes rated A or B and 53.4% in the C or D bands. Meanwhile, 3.7% of homes sit in the F or G bands — the least efficient categories. In practical terms, a B rating indicates well-insulated homes with efficient heating — energy bills here tend to be well below average.
Walk through CV47 and you will mostly see houses. Around 70% of properties are owner-occupied and 18% are social housing. Gas central heating is the main fuel source for 77% 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 69 to 85 — a 16-point jump that would lift the typical rating to B. That is a substantial gain, suggesting many homes are missing basic efficiency measures.

Frequently asked questions
What is the average EPC rating in CV47?
Homes in CV47 have an average EPC rating of C, scoring 69 out of 100 for energy efficiency. That figure comes from 7,243 certificates issued across the district.
This is broadly in line with the national average of 67 — neither particularly efficient nor particularly wasteful.
What percentage of homes in CV47 are rated F or G?
3.7% of homes in CV47 fall into the F or G bands — the lowest energy efficiency ratings. Nationally, the figure is 2.9%.
That means CV47 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.
