Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many private rented homes require additional energy efficiency installations costing between £2,500 and £3,500 in each (a) region and (b) council authority area.

Analysis of private rented housing data indicates that approximately 72,000 properties will receive packages of measures costing between £2,500 and £3,500 under amended Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard Regulations. On average, tenants benefitting from improvements under these regulations will see their energy costs fall by £180 per year.

Due of the comparatively small sample size used to model those private rented sector properties with F and G energy efficiency ratings, we are unable to reliably break the above subset of properties down by region or council authority area.
