About 10 Althorpe Street
10 Althorpe Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bedford (MK42 9HF). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2017) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since October 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 13% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £238,000 sits 87.4% above the 2007 sale of £127,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£164/sq ft) was about 22.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
