Overview

About 21 Close Road

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

21 Close Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Pavenham, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 7PP). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an F (score 21), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £290,000 sits 68.6% above the 2010 sale of £172,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£355/sq ft) was about 160.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (83 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 21 Close Road is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 7PP. 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 21 Close Road. 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 21 Close Road was lodged in March 2010 at band F and expired in March 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 21 Close Road. 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 4 schools and 28 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK43 7PP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
21 Close Road is in council tax band C. 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.
