Overview

About 82 Goldington Avenue

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

82 Goldington Avenue is a three-bedroom detached house in Bedford (MK40 3DB). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (April 2025) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in March 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good.

Held since October 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 79 m² the property is well over the postcode median (37 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £251,000 sits 96.9% above the 2008 sale of £127,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£150/sq ft) was about 67.7% below the postcode norm.
