Overview

About 5 Hill Crescent

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

5 Hill Crescent is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Brogborough, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0YB). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2020) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since June 2008, a hold of 18 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 £265,000 sits 136.6% above the 2008 sale of £112,000. At 68 m² it's 18.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (83 m² median across 14 EPCs).
