L24 is around the national average for energy efficiency.
Data from 6,190 property assessments shows L24 averaging 70 out of 100, placing it around the national average. For reference, the England and Wales average is 67 — so L24 is around that benchmark. The most common rating band is C, with 14.3% of homes rated A or B and 80.1% in the C or D bands. Meanwhile, 1.3% 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 L24 and you will mostly see houses. Around 38% of properties are owner-occupied and 49% are social housing. Gas central heating is the main fuel source for 95% 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 70 to 84 — a 14-point jump that would lift the typical rating to B.

Frequently asked questions
What is the average EPC rating in L24?
Homes in L24 have an average EPC rating of C, scoring 70 out of 100 for energy efficiency. That figure comes from 6,190 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 L24 are rated F or G?
1.3% of homes in L24 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 L24 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.
