Get started17 Clovelly Way is a six-bedroom detached house in Bedford (MK40 3BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £451,000 sits 131.3% above the 2009 sale of £195,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£165/sq ft) was about 23.7% below the postcode norm. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2010.
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
