About 6 Belfry Close
6 Belfry Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Elstow, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 9RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1215 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 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. At 113 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £333,000 sits 63.2% above the 2009 sale of £204,000.
