Overview

About 2 Dennis Road

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

2 Dennis Road is an end-of-terrace house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 7HF). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. At 64 m² this is the 12th smallest of 31 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–110 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 31 units on file. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£145/sq ft) was about 23.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Dennis Road is modelled from its 64 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK42 7HF. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 2 Dennis Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 2 Dennis Road was lodged in May 2012 at band C and expired in May 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 2 Dennis Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 12 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK42 7HF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Dennis Road is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
