HP11 is around the national average for energy efficiency.
Based on 6,326 Energy Performance Certificates, HP11 in Buckinghamshire has an average EPC score of 71 out of 100, placing it around the national average. To put this in context, the national average sits at 67. The most common rating band is C, with 23.9% of homes rated A or B and 65.7% in the C or D bands. Meanwhile, 1.1% of homes sit in the F or G bands — the least efficient categories. In practical terms, a C rating suggests reasonably efficient homes, though there is still room for improvement on heating and insulation.
Most of the housing stock here consists of flats. Flats alone account for 52% of all certificated properties — a distinctly urban profile. Around 60% of properties are owner-occupied , while 24% are privately rented and 16% are social housing. Gas central heating is the main fuel source for 73% of homes, which is typical for urban areas across England.
There is genuine room for improvement here. If every recommended upgrade were carried out, the average score could climb from 71 to 80 — a 9-point jump that would lift the typical rating to C.
