Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Busby Mead is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 2AB. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 8 Busby Mead. 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 Busby Mead was lodged in June 2018 at band B and is valid until June 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records

Area figures
