About 5a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5a is a three-bedroom detached house in Wootton, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 9JT). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1040 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 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. Today's modelled estimate of £398,000 sits 96.5% above the 2007 sale of £202,500.
