About 35 Chantry Avenue
35 Chantry Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 7QX). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in May 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £279,000 sits 59.4% above the 2007 sale of £175,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
