Overview

About 7 Main Road

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

7 Main Road is a detached house in Biddenham, Bedford, Bedford (MK40 4BB). It has a recorded floor area of 226 m² (around 2433 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £907,000 sits 252.9% above the 1996 sale of £257,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£106/sq ft) was about 42.4% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 3 refused.
