The average property in Milton Keynes has a D rating, which is fairly typical for the UK. However, 60% of homes here fall below a C rating, meaning there's significant room for improvement across the area.

Other improvements might include better wall insulation, upgraded heating systems or improved windows, depending on your specific property.

In Milton Keynes, you're required by law to have a valid EPC when selling or letting a property. The certificate shows potential buyers or tenants how much it will cost to heat and light your home, and lasts for 10 years.
The average EPC rating in Milton Keynes is D, with around 60% of properties rated below C. This reflects the age of many homes in the area, as most properties date from the mid-20th century. While a D rating is fairly common locally, improving your rating can increase your property's value and appeal to buyers or tenants.
The most recommended improvement for Milton Keynes properties is loft insulation, which is cost-effective and can make a significant difference to your energy efficiency rating.

EPC certificates typically cost between £60 and £120 in Milton Keynes, depending on your property's size and the assessor you choose. As a landlord, you must pay for the certificate yourself—tenants cannot be charged for it. The cost is a one-off expense that lasts for 10 years.
Yes, you'll need a valid EPC for both selling and letting. If your current certificate is less than 10 years old, you can use it again. However, if you've made significant improvements to your property, it's worth getting a new assessment to reflect the changes and potentially achieve a better rating, which can help attract buyers or tenants.
