The estimate for 8 West End Road is modelled from its 264 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 8RT. 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.

8 West End Road has no Land Registry sales on file, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands since registration began.
