About 11 Fitzgerald Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
11 Fitzgerald Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Elstow, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 9JT). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2019) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £270,000 sits 101.5% above the 2009 sale of £134,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£211/sq ft) was about 20.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
