Liverpool Rating C Score: 71 / 100

L27 is around the national average for energy efficiency.

Looking at the energy data for L27, this Liverpool district scores an average of 71 out of 100, placing it around the national average. Compared to the national average of 67, that puts L27 around the norm for England and Wales. The most common rating band is C, with 20.2% of homes rated A or B and 73.4% in the C or D bands. Meanwhile, 2% 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.

The area is characterised by houses. Around 44% of properties are owner-occupied and 46% are social housing. Gas central heating is the main fuel source for 98% 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 71 to 84 — a 13-point jump that would lift the typical rating to B.

Frequently asked questions

What is the average EPC rating in L27?

Homes in L27 have an average EPC rating of C, scoring 71 out of 100 for energy efficiency. That figure comes from 2,021 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 L27 are rated F or G?

2% of homes in L27 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 L27 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.
