Overview

About 1 Browns Lane

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

1 Browns Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Wootton, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 9FD). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in June 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 140 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2000–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £572,000 sits 50.5% above the 2015 sale of £380,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£252/sq ft) was about 71.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2017. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in July 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 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 1 Browns Lane is modelled from its 140 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 9FD. 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 1 Browns Lane. 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 1 Browns Lane was lodged in February 2016 at band C and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Browns Lane. 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 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK43 9FD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Browns Lane is in council tax band F. 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.
