About Ruby House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Ruby House is a one-bedroom detached house in Milton Keynes (MK9 2FD). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2020) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 3 certificates since June 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. Main heating runs on electricity. At 68 m² this is the 26th smallest of 28 units on EPC record in Ruby House, where floor areas span 53–71 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a balcony.
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. Today's modelled estimate of £187,000 is 34.1% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£191/sq ft) was about 27.4% below the postcode norm.

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 Ruby House is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK9 2FD. 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 Ruby 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 Ruby House was lodged in July 2020 at band B and is valid until July 2030. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Ruby 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK9 2FD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Ruby 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.
