Frequently asked questions
What is the average EPC rating in GU25?
Homes in GU25 have an average EPC rating of D, scoring 67 out of 100 for energy efficiency. That figure comes from 1,827 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 GU25 are rated F or G?
3.1% of homes in GU25 fall into the F or G bands — the lowest energy efficiency ratings. Nationally, the figure is 2.9%.
That means GU25 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.
