Overview

About 80a

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

80a is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0DG). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2022) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in October 2015 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

At 115 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 70% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £429,000 sits 78.8% above the 2016 sale of £240,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in May 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
