Overview

About 1 Spring Lane

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

1 Spring Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Yielden, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 1AT). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1351 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 57), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 126 m² it sits well below the postcode median (192 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Sold November 2018 for £645,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 7 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1998–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £762,000 is 18.1% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£477/sq ft) was about 117.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
