A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 1 is a detached house in Bedford (MK40 1DA). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2023 and council tax band A.

Today's modelled estimate of £148,000 is 85.2% below the 2022 sale of £1,000,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (75 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold September 2022 for £1,000,000.
