About 6 Carroll Drive

6 Carroll Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bedford (MK42 9RE). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 456 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows a C (score 71). The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£384/sq ft) was about 110.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (61 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 6 Carroll Drive is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK42 9RE. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 6 Carroll Drive. 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 6 Carroll Drive was lodged in August 2010 at band C and expired in August 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 6 Carroll Drive. 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 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK42 9RE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 6 Carroll Drive 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.
