Overview

About 3 Balliol Road

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

3 Balliol Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 7EP). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2019) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Other recorded features include outbuildings.

Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £291,000 sits 123.8% above the 2009 sale of £130,000.
