Overview

About 6 Little Portway

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

6 Little Portway is a four-bedroom detached house in Great Denham, Bedford, Bedford (MK40 4GD). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in May 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 5.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £439,000 sits 82.9% above the 2009 sale of £240,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£183/sq ft) was about 15.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
