Overview

About 1 Benmore Rise

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

1 Benmore Rise is a four-bedroom detached house in Westcroft, Milton Keynes, Milton Keynes (MK4 4BU). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1188 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and a loft.

Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in April 2010. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £404,000 is 45.1% above the 2010 sale price.

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 1 Benmore Rise is modelled from its 110 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK4 4BU. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Benmore Rise. 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 1 Benmore Rise was lodged in May 2009 at band C and expired in May 2019, 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. 1 application is matched to 1 Benmore Rise. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK4 4BU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Benmore Rise 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.
