Overview

About 5 Bromham Road

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

5 Bromham Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Biddenham, Bedford, Bedford (MK40 4AF). It has a recorded floor area of 242 m² (around 2605 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Last sold in January 2016, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 5 Bromham Road is modelled from its 242 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK40 4AF. 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 5 Bromham Road. 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 5 Bromham Road was lodged in May 2013 at band D and expired in May 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 5 Bromham Road. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK40 4AF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Bromham Road is in council tax band G. 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.
