Local market context
3 Geldonia Court is a detached house in Bedford (MK40 2NL). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. At 45 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 44–45 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (October 2023) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in June 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since March 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £148,000 sits 256.6% above the 1998 sale of £41,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£86/sq ft) was about 24.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs).
