Overview

About Fox Covert

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

Fox Covert is a four-bedroom detached house in Yielden, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 1AT). It has a recorded floor area of 206 m² (around 2217 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 206 m² it's 20.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (172 m² median across 10 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £758,000 is 38.4% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£247/sq ft) was about 16.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in February 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years.
