Overview

About 54a

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

54a is an eight-bedroom detached house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 8RJ). It has a recorded floor area of 386 m² (around 4155 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2025) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in May 2021 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. Main heating runs on oil. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include notable views and a self-contained annexe.

It hasn't traded since June 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 386 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs). 8 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £1,559,000 sits 180.9% above the 2008 sale of £555,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£134/sq ft) was about 31.4% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and an annexe, 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 54a is modelled from its 386 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 8RJ. 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 54a. 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 54a was lodged in September 2025 at band C and is valid until September 2035. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 54a. 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 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK43 8RJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
54a is in council tax band G. 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.
