Overview

About 20 Moat Farm Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

20 Moat Farm Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Marston Moretaine, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0AE). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 79 m² it sits well below the postcode median (131 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £356,000 is 45.3% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£288/sq ft) was about 55.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 20 Moat Farm Close is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 0AE. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 20 Moat Farm Close. 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 20 Moat Farm Close was lodged in October 2014 at band C and expired in October 2024, 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 20 Moat Farm Close. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK43 0AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
20 Moat Farm Close is in council tax band D. 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.
