About these figures
Where do the sold prices come from?
HM Land Registry Price Paid Data for MK42, from Oct 2025 to Sep 2026. It covers standard sales in England and Wales. Some sales take a few months to be registered, so the latest weeks can look thin.
How is "how much of the market your budget reaches" worked out?
We take the spread of prices each type of home sold for and see what share sold at or under your budget. It's a guide to how much choice you'd have, not a valuation.
Where do the homes on the market come from?
When someone with Housewizz views a listing, the extension notes its price, dates and status, never who they are. Asking prices are often higher than what homes sell for.
