How the estimate is made

The estimate for Flat 3 is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK40 3EU. 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.

Overview

About Flat 3

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

Flat 3 is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bedford (MK40 3EU). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 44 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (44–54 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to E, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (52 versus a worst of 37). The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in August 2016 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Today's modelled estimate of £167,000 is 19.3% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£295/sq ft) was about 25.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. At 44 m² it's 24.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (58 m² median across 17 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 Flat 3 is modelled from its 44 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK40 3EU. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Flat 3. 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 Flat 3 was lodged in July 2026 at band E and is valid until July 2036. 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 Flat 3. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK40 3EU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
