Overview

About The Orchard

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

The Orchard is a detached house in Felmersham, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 7JG). It has a recorded floor area of 156 m² (around 1679 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since July 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1999–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £679,000 sits 61.7% above the 2010 sale of £420,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£250/sq ft) was about 19.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 156 m² it's 26.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (213 m² median across 4 EPCs).

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 The Orchard is modelled from its 156 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 7JG. 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 The Orchard. 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 The Orchard was lodged in June 2026 at band C and is valid until June 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to The Orchard. 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 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK43 7JG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
The Orchard 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.
