Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Finch Close is modelled from its 215 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK42 6FE. 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 8 Finch 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 8 Finch Close was lodged in May 2021 at band B and is valid until May 2031. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 Finch 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 6 schools and 25 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK42 6FE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
