About Opal House

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

Opal House is an end-of-terrace house in Milton Keynes (MK9 2EL). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. At 69 m² this is the 23rd 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. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
