With house prices softening in parts of MK, here’s how to prep your home for a faster sale and stronger valuation, according to local experts.

If you’re living in MK and thinking about moving on, now’s a smart time to get sale-ready. Yes, the market’s softened slightly – but buyers are still out there, and homes that are priced right and look the part are getting snapped up.

Here’s your five-step plan to get ahead of the game and secure the best price for your Milton Keynes property.

1. House prices have dipped – but there’s still value in MK

The average home in Milton Keynes is now worth around £350,000, down slightly from last year, according to Rightmove – but still holding strong after years of solid growth. Detached homes in places like Broughton, Tattenhoe and Shenley Brook End are regularly hitting the £500k+ mark, while three-bed terraces in Wolverton or Bradwell are still averaging around £285,000.

Buyers are cautious – but serious. That means your home needs to be priced accurately and presented well from the start.

2. First impressions count – so fix the front

Before buyers even step inside, they’re judging. A weedy front garden, tired door or bins on full display? That’s costing you. Clean it up, add a few plants, and repaint the door if needed. It sets the tone for the rest of the viewing – and your valuation.

3. Show off your space with light and layout

Milton Keynes homes are known for generous layouts and big windows – so show them off. Open the curtains, clean the glass, and shift bulky furniture to make rooms feel more spacious.

Mirrors can work wonders in darker corners, and a good declutter can totally change how buyers see your home.

4. Get your paperwork in order early

Don’t wait until the offers roll in to start hunting for your EPC or building regs certificates. If you’ve done any work – from a loft conversion in Walnut Tree to a new boiler in Westcroft – have the paperwork ready.

Being organised signals to both buyers and valuers that you’re serious.

5. Get a valuation from someone who knows MK

With prices varying street by street – and big differences between estates and older areas – don’t trust an online guesstimate. A real, in-person valuation from someone local gives you the edge.
