Overview

About 12 Cherry Walk

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

12 Cherry Walk is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 7PB). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 447 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 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 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £255,000 sits 86.1% above the 2009 sale of £137,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£307/sq ft) was about 85% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (70 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 12 Cherry Walk is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK42 7PB. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 12 Cherry Walk. 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 12 Cherry Walk was lodged in January 2009 at band E and expired in January 2019, 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 12 Cherry Walk. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK42 7PB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Cherry Walk is in council tax band C. 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.
