North West EPC statistics: 2.24 million property records analysed
A regional snapshot of property type, current and potential EPC ratings, solar PV evidence and other energy-efficiency indicators in the EPC Atlas North West dataset.
North West property type
The North West dataset is strongly house-led. Houses account for about 69.1% of records, while flats account for 22.8%.
| Property type | Records | Share of regional dataset |
|---|---|---|
| House | 1,548,033 | 69.1% |
| Flat | 510,435 | 22.8% |
| Bungalow | 162,177 | 7.2% |
| Maisonette | 19,958 | 0.9% |
| Park home | 954 | 0.0% |
North West EPC rating profile
| Current EPC rating | Records | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 14,004 | 0.6% |
| B | 297,458 | 13.3% |
| C | 826,912 | 36.9% |
| D | 820,140 | 36.6% |
| E | 230,695 | 10.3% |
Recorded solar PV in the North West dataset
EPC Atlas currently identifies 28,424 North West records where Solar PV is marked Yes. That is 1.3% of all North West records in the current dataset.
Other useful energy-efficiency indicators
198,594 records are classified as Poor or Very Poor for heating efficiency in the visible filters, while 1,782,569 records show fully double glazed windows.
For commercial prospecting, these signals can be layered with location, property type, tenure, roof/loft, wall and EPC evidence rather than used in isolation.
Methodology and sources
These figures describe records currently searchable within the EPC Atlas regional datasets. They are not official estimates of the total number of dwellings in a region and should not be read as a complete inventory of current housing stock. EPC registers can contain certificates issued at different points in time, including certificates that have expired or been replaced.
Government guidance confirms that bulk Energy Performance of Buildings data covers England and Wales and includes certificates registered since 2012, which may have expired or been replaced. Official statistics also caution that EPC-based figures are based on certificates lodged on the register rather than a complete census of every dwelling.

EPC Atlas uses EPC/property evidence as a prospecting indicator. It is not a building survey, guarantee of ownership, guarantee that work is required, or statement of installation suitability.
