1b, Merchant Lane, Cranfield, Bedford, MK43 0BU

1b changed hands twice within eighteen months — unusual for the area.

1b ranks among the most efficient homes in the postcode for energy use.

How the estimate is made

The estimate for 1b is modelled from its 123 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 0BU. 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 1b. 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 1b was lodged in October 2014 at band B and expired in October 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.

Planning records

Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1b. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
