Overview

About 13 Acorn Way

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

13 Acorn Way is an end-of-terrace house in Bedford (MK42 0QN). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 597 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a C (score 70). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 sits 96.7% above the 2009 sale of £123,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£206/sq ft) was about 38% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 29 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
