MK41 is around the national average for energy efficiency.
The 12,226 EPC certificates on record for MK41 paint a clear picture — the area averages 67 out of 100, placing it around the national average. The national average is 67, which means MK41 performs roughly in line with the rest of the country. The most common rating band is C, with 6.7% of homes rated A or B and 82.8% in the C or D bands. Meanwhile, 1.4% 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.
Houses make up the bulk of the housing in this district. Around 62% of properties are owner-occupied and 22% are social housing. Gas central heating is the main fuel source for 91% 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 67 to 82 — a 15-point jump that would lift the typical rating to B. That is a substantial gain, suggesting many homes are missing basic efficiency measures.

Frequently asked questions
What is the average EPC rating in MK41?
Homes in MK41 have an average EPC rating of D, scoring 67 out of 100 for energy efficiency. That figure comes from 12,226 certificates issued across the district.
This is broadly in line with the national average of 67 — neither particularly efficient nor particularly wasteful. A D rating typically means higher-than-necessary heating bills, especially in older properties without adequate insulation.
What percentage of homes in MK41 are rated F or G?
1.4% of homes in MK41 fall into the F or G bands — the lowest energy efficiency ratings. Nationally, the figure is 2.9%.
This is actually better than the national picture, suggesting the housing stock in MK41 is in relatively good shape — though any home rated F or G would still benefit enormously from basic upgrades. Landlords should note that F and G rated properties cannot legally be rented out under current MEES rules.
