Local market context
17 Ashdale Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 8NT). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1372 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since February 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (97 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2006–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £364,000 sits 68.1% above the 2011 sale of £216,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£158/sq ft) was about 27.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
