Overview

About 22 Charlbury Court

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

22 Charlbury Court is an end-of-terrace house in Bedford (MK40 3AE). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2012. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 59 m² this is the 18th 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 across 27 units on file.

Across 1995–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £190,000 sits 71.9% above the 2012 sale of £110,500. Last sold in September 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs).

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 22 Charlbury Court is modelled from its 59 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales 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. 5 sales are recorded for 22 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 22 Charlbury Court was lodged in February 2014 at band D and expired in February 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 22 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
22 Charlbury Court is in council tax band B. 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.
