Overview

About 40 Wellhead Road

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

40 Wellhead Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Totternhoe, Dunstable, Dunstable (LU6 1QS). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in May 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 93), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a corner plot.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2014–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £568,000 is 14.7% above the 2021 sale price.

That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
