Overview

About 14 Forches Close

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

14 Forches Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Emerson Valley, Milton Keynes, Milton Keynes (MK4 2BE). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 583 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows an F (score 23), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 54 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £277,000 sits 56.1% above the 2007 sale of £177,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£305/sq ft) was about 60.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 14 Forches Close is modelled from its 54 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK4 2BE. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 14 Forches Close. 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 14 Forches Close was lodged in January 2012 at band F and expired in January 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 14 Forches Close. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK4 2BE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
14 Forches Close is in council tax band B. 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.
