Overview

About 16 Flitt Leys Close

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

16 Flitt Leys Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0FY). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (September 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 110 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On the market in November 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years.

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 16 Flitt Leys Close is modelled from its 110 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 0FY. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 16 Flitt Leys Close. 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 16 Flitt Leys Close was lodged in November 2013 at band C and expired in November 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 16 Flitt Leys Close. 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 19 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK43 0FY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Flitt Leys Close is in council tax band E. 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.
