16 Valens Close, Crownhill, Milton Keynes, MK8 0BH

16 Valens Close is a semi-detached house in Crownhill, Milton Keynes, Milton Keynes (MK8 0BH). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 96 m² the property is well over the postcode median (57 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 sits 71.5% above the 2007 sale of £158,595. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£153/sq ft) was about 21.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2025. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
