Overview

About 19 Devon Road

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

19 Devon Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Bedford (MK40 3DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 185 m² (around 1991 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since November 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. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £607,000 sits 82.6% above the 2009 sale of £332,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£167/sq ft) was about 16.8% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2024.
