N1C is above average for energy efficiency — better than most areas in England and Wales.
Based on 1,594 Energy Performance Certificates, N1C in Camden has an average EPC score of 84 out of 100, placing it above the national average. To put this in context, the national average sits at 67. The most common rating band is B, with 92.7% of homes rated A or B and 7.2% in the C or D bands. In practical terms, a B rating indicates well-insulated homes with efficient heating — energy bills here tend to be well below average.
Most of the housing stock here consists of flats. Flats alone account for 98% of all certificated properties — a distinctly urban profile. Around 11% of properties are owner-occupied , while 69% are privately rented and 20% are social housing. That high proportion of rental homes matters — landlords in N1C must comply with the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), which currently require at least an EPC E rating. Properties rated F or G cannot legally be let.
