Overview

About 21 Charlbury Court

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

21 Charlbury Court is a mid-terrace house in Bedford (MK40 3AE). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. At 45 m² this is the 6th smallest of 27 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 44–62 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (51 versus a best of 79). The latest certificate (February 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 26 years, with the last transfer in February 2000. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 45 m² it's 21.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (57 m² median across 26 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £163,000 sits 239.6% above the 2000 sale of £47,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£99/sq ft) was about 38.6% 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 21 Charlbury Court is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK40 3AE. 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 21 Charlbury Court. 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 21 Charlbury Court was lodged in February 2014 at band E and expired in February 2024, 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 21 Charlbury Court. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK40 3AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
21 Charlbury Court 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.
