Overview

About 14 Maltings Close

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

14 Maltings Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0BY). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 101), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since September 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1995–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £348,000 sits 63.8% above the 2008 sale of £212,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£194/sq ft) was about 26.8% below the postcode norm.
