Overview

About 11 Flax Close

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

11 Flax Close is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Oakley, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 7PW). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1625 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2025) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 3 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £434,000 sits 404.7% above the 2007 sale of £86,000.
