About 13 Court Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
13 Court Road is a semi-detached house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0DR). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1483 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 138 m² the property is well over the postcode median (97 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £356,000 sits 179.2% above the 2012 sale of £127,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£86/sq ft) was about 64% below the postcode norm. Last sold in May 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 13 Court Road is modelled from its 138 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 0DR. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 13 Court Road. 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 13 Court Road was lodged in November 2010 at band E and expired in November 2020, 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. None is matched to 13 Court Road. 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 0DR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 13 Court Road is in council tax band B. 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.
