Overview

About 25e

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

25e is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bedford (MK40 1DX). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (August 2024) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (March 2011); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). Main heating runs on electricity. At 40 m² this is the 20th smallest of 50 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 23–173 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to B across 50 units on file.

Untraded for 20 years, with the last transfer in January 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

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 25e is modelled from its 40 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK40 1DX. 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 25e. 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 25e was lodged in August 2024 at band E and is valid until August 2034. 2 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 25e. 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 1DX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
