What stands out in Wyre

Compared with the other 34 local authorities in the North West and with England and Wales, from the same EPC register snapshot.

Wyre is the only local authority in the North West with no building over 1,000 m² rated F or G.
Its floorspace rated C to E is spread across sizes: 41% in buildings of 1,000 to 5,000 m², 23% in buildings of 5,000 to 10,000 m², 36% in buildings over 10,000 m².
10 of its 21 buildings rated C to G (48%) have an EPC that has lapsed or is estimated to lapse before 2031, against 54% across England and Wales; 2 have already lapsed.
None of its 7 C-rated buildings has an asset rating within 10 points of band B.
In the 12 months to 30 Sep 2026, 10 industrial and warehouse buildings of any size here had an EPC lodged to be let and 6 for a marketed sale, 16 in all: the 5th fewest of 35 local authorities in the North West.
Two recommendations are joint most common on its certificates rated C to G, each on 15 of 21 buildings: “Consider replacing T8 lamps with retrofit T5 conversion kit” (EPC-L5) and “Consider installing solar water heating” (EPC-R3).

What the 2031 proposal means

In June 2026 the government said it intends that privately rented non-domestic buildings over 1,000 m² reach EPC B from 2031, where cost effective. It needs secondary legislation, so for now it's a proposal, not law. What the proposal means

C to E: fine today, short of B
Wyre has 21 buildings over 1,000 m² rated C to E. They meet today's E minimum, but would fall short of B if the proposal becomes law while they're let.
F or G: below the minimum already
No building over 1,000 m² in Wyre has a latest EPC rated F or G.
Where cost effective, and only when let
The 7-year payback test and the exemptions remain. Owner-occupied buildings are counted too, as an EPC can't say whether a building is let. Local weights and measures authorities enforce the rules. MEES in plain English
Ratings change at renewal
10 of Wyre's buildings rated C to G have an EPC that has lapsed or is estimated to lapse before 2031. Each needs a new certificate before it's let or sold, and the new rating may differ.
