About 17 Kensington Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Kensington Drive is a semi-detached house in Great Holm, Milton Keynes, Milton Keynes (MK8 9AR). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2014. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £228,000 sits 320.3% above the 1997 sale of £54,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£75/sq ft) was about 47.4% below the postcode norm.
