Overview

About Leaside

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

Leaside is a four-bedroom detached house in Harrold, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 7DF). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2020) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since May 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 137 m² the property is well over the postcode median (104 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £636,000 sits 319.8% above the 1995 sale of £151,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£103/sq ft) was about 57.6% below the postcode norm.

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 Leaside is modelled from its 137 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 7DF. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Leaside. 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 Leaside was lodged in March 2020 at band E and is valid until March 2030. 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 Leaside. 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 7DF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Leaside is in council tax band F. 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.
