Overview

About 17 Chandlers Close

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

17 Chandlers Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Marston Moretaine, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0QW). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 56 m² it's 16.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (67 m² median across 19 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 is 38.3% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£290/sq ft) was about 65.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
