Frequently asked questions
What is the average EPC rating in TF13?
Homes in TF13 have an average EPC rating of D, scoring 61 out of 100 for energy efficiency. That figure comes from 1,245 certificates issued across the district.
That is below the national average of 67, which means there is real scope to improve energy efficiency here. A D rating typically means higher-than-necessary heating bills, especially in older properties without adequate insulation.
What percentage of homes in TF13 are rated F or G?
7.8% of homes in TF13 fall into the F or G bands — the lowest energy efficiency ratings. Nationally, the figure is 2.9%.
That means TF13 has a higher-than-average proportion of poorly insulated homes. On the positive side, many of these properties may qualify for free improvements through government schemes like ECO4 or the Great British Insulation Scheme. Landlords should note that F and G rated properties cannot legally be rented out under current MEES rules.
