Overview

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.

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 5a is modelled from its 97 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 9JT. 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 5a. 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 5a was lodged in March 2009 at band D and expired in March 2019, 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. None is matched to 5a. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK43 9JT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5a is in council tax band D. 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.
