Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 21 Birch Grove is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK45 2EJ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 21 Birch Grove. 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 21 Birch Grove was lodged in August 2018 at band B and is valid until August 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records

Area figures
