Overview

About 39 Wootton Road

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

39 Wootton Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 9BH). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1997–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £441,000 is 10.3% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£368/sq ft) was about 71.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 101 m² it's 24.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (134 m² median across 14 EPCs). Sold January 2022 for £400,000.

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 39 Wootton Road is modelled from its 101 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 9BH. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 39 Wootton Road. 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 39 Wootton Road was lodged in October 2015 at band D and expired in October 2025, 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 39 Wootton Road. 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 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK43 9BH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
39 Wootton Road is in council tax band C. 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.
