Overview

About 19a

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

19a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bedford (MK40 1DG). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2017) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a balcony.

It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 60 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £177,000 is 45.1% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£95/sq ft) was about 28.9% below the postcode norm.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 19a is modelled from its 119 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK40 1DG. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 19a. 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 19a was lodged in September 2017 at band E and is valid until September 2027. 4 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 19a. 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK40 1DG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
19a is in council tax band A. 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.
