About 3 Browning Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Browning Close is a five-bedroom detached house in Bromham, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 8TQ). It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1545 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 2005, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. At 144 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £630,000 sits 70.3% above the 2005 sale of £370,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 3 Browning Close is modelled from its 144 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 8TQ. 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 3 Browning Close. 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 3 Browning Close was lodged in March 2012 at band C and expired in March 2022, 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. 1 application is matched to 3 Browning Close. 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 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK43 8TQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Browning Close 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.
