Local market context
4 Farrer Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 8JH). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2020) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in October 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 91 m² the property is well over the postcode median (56 m² across 43 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £268,000 sits 67.5% above the 2007 sale of £159,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 22.1% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
