Overview

About 3 The Lane

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

3 The Lane is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Lidlington, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0UP). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2021) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89).

Held since June 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

Today's modelled estimate of £233,000 sits 186.1% above the 2008 sale of £81,450. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£111/sq ft) was about 50.8% below the postcode norm.
