Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Mount Pleasant Farm is modelled from its 142 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK44 2EN. 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 Mount Pleasant Farm, 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 Mount Pleasant Farm was lodged in October 2015 at band C and expired in October 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 7 applications are matched to Mount Pleasant Farm. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 17 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK44 2EN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
