9 Halesowen Drive, Elstow, Bedford, MK42 9GG

9 Halesowen Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Elstow, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 9GG). It has a recorded floor area of 184 m² (around 1979 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 184 m² the property is well over the postcode median (122 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £507,000 sits 61% above the 2009 sale of £315,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
