Overview

About 14g

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

14g is a two-bedroom property in Bedford (MK40 1DS). It has a recorded floor area of 23 m² (around 245 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. At 23 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (23–140 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (August 2011) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since January 2007 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 23 m² it sits well below the postcode median (51 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £158,000 is 18.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£542/sq ft) was about 137.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2007.

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 14g is modelled from its 23 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK40 1DS. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 14g. 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 14g was lodged in August 2011 at band B and expired in August 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 14g. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK40 1DS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
14g 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.
