Overview

About 9 High Street

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

9 High Street is a four-bedroom detached house in Harrold, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 7DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 178 m² (around 1916 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 68), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2017–2025, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £620,000 is 10.1% below the 2025 sale of £690,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£360/sq ft) was about 58.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 178 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. It changed hands recently, sold December 2025 for £690,000.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 9 High Street is modelled from its 178 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 7DQ. 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 9 High Street. 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 9 High Street was lodged in March 2016 at band F and expired in March 2026, 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 9 High Street. 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 7DQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
9 High Street is in council tax band D. 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.
