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 semi-detached house in Milton Keynes (MK9 2EL). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2019) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. At 65 m² this is the 18th 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 top.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in June 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £188,000 is 21.1% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£222/sq ft) was about 21.6% below the postcode norm.
