Overview

About 5 Banktop Place

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

5 Banktop Place is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Emerson Valley, Milton Keynes, Milton Keynes (MK4 2ER). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. At 40 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 34 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–97 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (79 versus a worst of 46). The latest certificate (December 2023) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in August 2019 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since May 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £135,000 sits 217.6% above the 2007 sale of £42,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£99/sq ft) was about 22.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 40 m² it's 24.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (53 m² median across 33 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 82% of similar EPCs).

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 5 Banktop Place is modelled from its 40 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK4 2ER. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 5 Banktop Place. 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 5 Banktop Place was lodged in December 2023 at band C and is valid until December 2033. 3 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 5 Banktop Place. 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 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK4 2ER, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Banktop Place is in council tax band A. 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.
