Overview

About Marlborough Court

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 71). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since July 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

Last sale on file: £263,000 in February 2021. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Marlborough Court is modelled from its 73 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN21 1BT. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 6 sales are recorded for Marlborough Court. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Marlborough Court was lodged in May 2016 at band C and expired in May 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Marlborough Court. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN21 1BT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Marlborough Court is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
