Overview

About 15 Lilleshall Drive

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

15 Lilleshall Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Elstow, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 9FG). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £523,000 sits 63.4% above the 2007 sale of £320,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£209/sq ft) was about 48.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
