About 6 Bunyans Mead
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
6 Bunyans Mead is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Elstow, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 9XY). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. At 63 m² this is the 9th smallest of 22 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–101 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (June 2020) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in June 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66).
Across 2003–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at -1.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £171,000 sits 70.1% above the 2020 sale of £100,500. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Most recent transfer: July 2020 at £100,500.
