About 11 St Helenas Garden
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
11 St Helenas Garden is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Elstow, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 9YY). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a corner plot.
Across 1999–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £304,000 sits 68.9% above the 2013 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£236/sq ft) was about 19.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). On the market in December 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years.
