Overview

About 17 Bevery Close

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

17 Bevery Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Oakley, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 7SH). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 78 m² it's 16.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (93 m² median across 16 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Across 2017–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.5% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£429/sq ft) was about 147.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold December 2022 for £360,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
