Walk through TR19 and you will mostly see houses. Around 71% 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 49 to 79 — a 30-point jump that would lift the typical rating to C. That is a substantial gain, suggesting many homes are missing basic efficiency measures.

Frequently asked questions

What is the average EPC rating in TR19?

Homes in TR19 have an average EPC rating of E, scoring 49 out of 100 for energy efficiency. That figure comes from 3,720 certificates issued across the district.

That is below the national average of 67, which means there is real scope to improve energy efficiency here. An E rating suggests many homes here are losing significant amounts of heat — and money — through poor insulation or outdated heating systems.

What percentage of homes in TR19 are rated F or G?

28.9% of homes in TR19 fall into the F or G bands — the lowest energy efficiency ratings. Nationally, the figure is 2.9%.

That means TR19 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.
