Overview

About 19 Birch Close

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

19 Birch Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0FP). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £430,000 sits 55.3% above the 2007 sale of £276,950. At 112 m² it's 17.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (95 m² median across 20 EPCs).
