Overview

About 13 Hampden Court

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

13 Hampden Court is a detached house in Biddenham, Bedford, Bedford (MK40 4HX). It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2099 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in November 1999. 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 £767,000 sits 174% above the 1999 sale of £279,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£133/sq ft) was about 52.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 195 m² it's 27.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (271 m² median across 10 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs).

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 13 Hampden Court is modelled from its 195 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK40 4HX. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 13 Hampden Court. 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 13 Hampden Court was lodged in February 2013 at band D and expired in February 2023, 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. 1 application is matched to 13 Hampden Court. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK40 4HX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
13 Hampden Court is in council tax band G. 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.
