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 £253,000 sits 98.4% 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.

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 82 Goldington Avenue is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK40 3DB. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 82 Goldington Avenue. 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 82 Goldington Avenue was lodged in April 2025 at band C and is valid until April 2035. 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 82 Goldington Avenue. 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK40 3DB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
82 Goldington Avenue is in council tax band C. 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.
