Overview

About 3 Folly Farm

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

3 Folly Farm is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0DL). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

Most recent transfer: March 2021 at £285,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.

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 3 Folly Farm is modelled from its 75 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 0DL. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 3 Folly Farm. 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 3 Folly Farm was lodged in September 2020 at band C and is valid until September 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 3 Folly Farm. 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 2 schools and 20 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK43 0DL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Folly Farm is in council tax band C. 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.
