About Manhattan House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Manhattan House is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Milton Keynes (MK9 2BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. At 70 m² this is the 59th smallest of 72 units on EPC record in Manhattan House, where floor areas span 43–85 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2019) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band.
It hasn't traded since October 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 70 m² the property is well over the postcode median (50 m² across 71 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs).

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 Manhattan House is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK9 2BQ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Manhattan House. 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 Manhattan House was lodged in January 2019 at band C and is valid until January 2029. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Manhattan House. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK9 2BQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Manhattan House is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
