Overview

About 8 Brook Lane

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

8 Brook Lane is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Harrold, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 7BW). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 629 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a G (score 19), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 46), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

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 8 Brook Lane is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 7BW. 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 8 Brook Lane. 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 8 Brook Lane was lodged in August 2009 at band G and expired in August 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 Brook Lane. 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 17 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK43 7BW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Brook Lane is in council tax band B. 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.
