In practical terms, an E rating signals significant energy waste. In practical terms, households here could be spending £400-600 more per year on energy than they need to.
Walk through TR22 and you will mostly see houses. Around 47% of properties are owner-occupied , while 53% are privately rented . That high proportion of rental homes matters — landlords in TR22 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. 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 92 — a 54-point jump that would lift the typical rating to A. That is a substantial gain, suggesting many homes are missing basic efficiency measures.
