Overview

About 9 Elger Close

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

9 Elger Close is a detached house in Biddenham, Bedford, Bedford (MK40 4AU). It has a recorded floor area of 150 m² (around 1615 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2017) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump.

Held since July 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £520,000 sits 231.2% above the 2001 sale of £157,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£97/sq ft) was about 34.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004.
