Overview

About 15 Allen Close

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

15 Allen Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bedford (MK40 4HG). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £306,000 is 18.4% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£308/sq ft) was about 62.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in May 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
