Overview

About 8 Reynes Drive

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

8 Reynes Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Oakley, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 7SA). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 919 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Held since April 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 85 m² it's 23.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (112 m² median across 4 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £366,000 sits 128.8% above the 2001 sale of £160,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£174/sq ft) was about 29.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
