Overview

About 9 Canons Close

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

9 Canons Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Wootton, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 9DP). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (89 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2015–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 49.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 is 25.1% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£404/sq ft) was about 70.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in March 2016.

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 9 Canons Close is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 9DP. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 9 Canons 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 9 Canons Close was lodged in July 2015 at band D and expired in July 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 9 Canons 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK43 9DP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
9 Canons Close 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.
