How the estimate is made

The estimate for 7a is modelled from its 59 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK42 8RF. 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.

Sales history & valuation

Every recorded sale of this home, how its price has moved, and what neighbouring properties have sold for.

7a has no Land Registry sales on file, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands since registration began.

No sales recorded with HM Land Registry

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 MK42 8RF: £182,000 (2026–2020).

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 7a is modelled from its 59 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK42 8RF. 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. No sale is recorded for 7a, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 7a was lodged in November 2013 at band C and expired in November 2023, 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 7a. 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK42 8RF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7a is in council tax band B. 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.
