Emerson Valley market report MK4 4, Milton Keynes

The MK4 4 (Emerson Valley) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 5,530 registered sales in MK4 4 (Milton Keynes) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.

In short: 51 registered 2026 sales put the MK4 4 (Milton Keynes) median at £355,000, up 2% on five years earlier, with a mean of £351,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,820 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 5,530 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.

MK4 4 is one sector of MK4 (Milton Keynes): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

MK4 4 sold prices: where the market stands

In the MK4 4 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £355,000, from 51 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £351,000, sitting practically level with it: prices here bunch tightly around the middle.

What a square metre costs in MK4 4

Per square metre, MK4 4 homes have averaged around £3,820 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.

Set against the £285,000 England and Wales median, MK4 4 sits 25% above the national market.

In cash terms the typical MK4 4 home went from £46,500 in 1995 to £355,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 251%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2018. The market now sits about 27% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 1997 (+133.4% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−24.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.

How many homes change hands in MK4 4

MK4 4 recorded 51 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 227 sales a year before the financial crisis and 171 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.

What homes rent for around MK4 4

For renting purposes MK4 4 sits in Milton Keynes. The ONS average private rent there is £1,336 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £972 a month here against £2,080 for four or more bedrooms.

Against the £355,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,336 a month (£16,032 a year) works out at a 4.5% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

What kind of market MK4 4 is

This is a thin market: 51 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

What people ask about MK4 4 (Emerson Valley)

Are MK4 4 prices heading up or down?

The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 19% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
