The realistic uplift

Each energy certificate lists the improvements an assessor recommends and the rating the home would reach if they were done. Averaged across 15884 certificates in N12, the current rating of 66.9 could rise to about 77.0 out of 100. The estimated annual heating cost averages £718 now, and about £503 after the recommended work – an estimated saving of roughly £214 a year.

These are the register's own estimates, averaged across many homes; the figure for any one property depends on its fabric and how it is heated.
