Overview

About 3 Heron Gardens

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

3 Heron Gardens is a detached house in Wixams, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 6BY). It has a recorded floor area of 179 m² (around 1925 sq ft) and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2011) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since June 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 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. Today's modelled estimate of £522,000 sits 74% above the 2009 sale of £300,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 49.7% below the postcode norm.
