Overview

About 2 Church End

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

2 Church End is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 8RH). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 577 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a G (score 16), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 54 m² it sits well below the postcode median (246 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £246,000 sits 96.8% above the 2011 sale of £125,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£217/sq ft) was about 16.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.

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 2 Church End is modelled from its 54 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 8RH. 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 2 Church End. 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 2 Church End was lodged in March 2009 at band G and expired in March 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 2 Church End. 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 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK43 8RH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Church End is in council tax band D. 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.
