Frequently asked questions
What is the average EPC rating in HA6?
Homes in HA6 have an average EPC rating of D, scoring 65 out of 100 for energy efficiency. That figure comes from 6,876 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 HA6 are rated F or G?
2.8% of homes in HA6 fall into the F or G bands — the lowest energy efficiency ratings. Nationally, the figure is 2.9%.
This is actually better than the national picture, suggesting the housing stock in HA6 is in relatively good shape — though any home rated F or G would still benefit enormously from basic upgrades. Landlords should note that F and G rated properties cannot legally be rented out under current MEES rules.
