About 7 Brampton Close
7 Brampton Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Bedford (MK42 0HD). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £343,000 sits 270% above the 2007 sale of £92,700. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£87/sq ft) was about 51.2% below the postcode norm.
