How the estimate is made
The estimate for 10d is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK40 1LD. 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.

About 10d
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
10d is a mid-terrace house in Bedford (MK40 1LD). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 760 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 71 m² this is the 11th smallest of 28 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–106 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (December 2010) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £172,000 sits 142.3% above the 2018 sale of £71,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Most recent transfer: November 2018 at £71,000.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 10d is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK40 1LD. 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 10d. 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 10d was lodged in December 2010 at band E and expired in December 2020, 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. None is matched to 10d. 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 1LD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
