Your note and figure are shown publicly on this page.
The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 38 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK40 1DQ. 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.

Flat 1 has no Land Registry sales on file, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands since registration began.
That can mean the property has never traded since the registry began publishing in 1995, was a new build that hasn't been registered yet, or is held in the same hands long-term.
Median price across the last 5 sales in MK40 1DQ: £219,100 (2025–2020).

The latest certificate (July 2024) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). Main heating runs on electricity. At 38 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–46 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom.
At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (113 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
