Overview

About 39 Great Portway

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

39 Great Portway is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Great Denham, Bedford, Bedford (MK40 4GA). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 651 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in July 2009. 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 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £238,000 sits 80.3% above the 2009 sale of £132,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£203/sq ft) was about 16.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 39 Great Portway is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK40 4GA. 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 39 Great Portway. 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 39 Great Portway was lodged in October 2008 at band C and expired in October 2018, 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. None is matched to 39 Great Portway. 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 4GA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
39 Great Portway is in council tax band C. 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.
