Data from 76 property assessments shows LL39 averaging 38 out of 100, placing it below the national average. For reference, the England and Wales average is 67 — so LL39 is below that benchmark. The most common rating band is F, with 0.0% of homes rated A or B and 25.0% in the C or D bands. Meanwhile, 50% of homes sit in the F or G bands — the least efficient categories. In practical terms, an F rating means serious heat loss and high energy bills. Many of these homes would benefit substantially from basic insulation upgrades.

Walk through LL39 and you will mostly see houses. Around 86% of properties are owner-occupied . A significant share of homes here rely on electric heating, which tends to be more expensive per unit of energy than gas.

There is genuine room for improvement here. If every recommended upgrade were carried out, the average score could climb from 38 to 72 — a 34-point jump that would lift the typical rating to C. That is a substantial gain, suggesting many homes are missing basic efficiency measures.
