L28 is around the national average for energy efficiency.
Across 2,880 assessed properties, L28 achieves an average EPC score of 71 out of 100, placing it around the national average. For reference, the England and Wales average is 67 — so L28 is around that benchmark. The most common rating band is C, with 9.5% of homes rated A or B and 84.0% in the C or D bands. Meanwhile, 0.5% 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 L28 and you will mostly see houses. Flats make up a notable 26% of homes here. Around 18% of properties are owner-occupied and 77% 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 71 to 83 — a 12-point jump that would lift the typical rating to B.

Frequently asked questions
What is the average EPC rating in L28?
Homes in L28 have an average EPC rating of C, scoring 71 out of 100 for energy efficiency. That figure comes from 2,880 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 L28 are rated F or G?
0.5% of homes in L28 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 L28 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.
