Overview

About 8 Egglestone Close

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

8 Egglestone Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 8QE). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a corner plot.

Across 2002–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £285,000 sits 71.7% above the 2013 sale of £166,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). Last sold in October 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

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 8 Egglestone Close is modelled from its 76 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK42 8QE. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 8 Egglestone Close. 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 8 Egglestone Close was lodged in February 2010 at band C and expired in February 2020, 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 8 Egglestone Close. 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 8QE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Egglestone Close 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.
