How the estimate is made
The estimate for 17 Cygnet Close is modelled from its 247 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK42 6FA.

Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 17 Cygnet Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Area figures
