2 The Close is a semi-detached house in Great Horwood, Milton Keynes, Milton Keynes (MK17 0QG). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2013 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £337,000 sits 308.5% above the 1999 sale of £82,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 51.9% below the postcode norm.
