Overview

About 17 Acorn Way

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

17 Acorn Way is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bedford (MK42 0QN). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 954 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Today's modelled estimate of £307,000 is 46.2% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£220/sq ft) was about 48.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in February 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
