Overview

About Opal House

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Opal House is a two-bedroom property in Milton Keynes (MK9 2EL). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band C. At 68 m² this is the 20th smallest of 25 units on EPC record in Opal House, where floor areas span 52–70 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £192,000 is 38.2% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£190/sq ft) was about 32.9% below the postcode norm.
