About 12 Beresford Road
12 Beresford Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bedford (MK40 3SD). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1131 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since June 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 9.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £435,000 sits 64.2% above the 2009 sale of £265,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£234/sq ft) was about 23% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 105 m² it's 24.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (139 m² median across 12 EPCs).
