Overview

About 14 Cardwell Close

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

14 Cardwell Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Emerson Valley, Milton Keynes, Milton Keynes (MK4 2LB). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2018) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84).

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £375,000 sits 102.7% above the 2009 sale of £185,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 86 m² it's 23.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 10 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 14 Cardwell Close is modelled from its 86 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK4 2LB. 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 14 Cardwell 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 Cardwell Close was lodged in April 2018 at band C and is valid until April 2028. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 14 Cardwell 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK4 2LB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
14 Cardwell Close is in council tax band C. 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.
