Overview

About 12 Crane Way

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

12 Crane Way is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0HW). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 104 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2009–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £386,000 is 17.7% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£293/sq ft) was about 17.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £328,000 in November 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 12 Crane Way is modelled from its 104 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 0HW. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 12 Crane Way. 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 12 Crane Way was lodged in April 2016 at band C and expired in April 2026, 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 12 Crane Way. 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 0HW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Crane Way 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.
