How the estimate is made
The estimate for The Manor is modelled from its 505 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK44 1AU. 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.

About The Manor
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Manor is a detached house in Yielden, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 1AU). It has a recorded floor area of 505 m² (around 5436 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2019) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since April 2018. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 48). Main heating runs on lpg.
Across 2018–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £2,026,000 is 13.8% below the 2022 sale of £2,350,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£432/sq ft) was about 99.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 505 m² the property is well over the postcode median (170 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 6 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £2,350,000 in May 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for The Manor is modelled from its 505 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK44 1AU. 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. 3 sales are recorded for The Manor. 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 The Manor was lodged in September 2019 at band F and is valid until September 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 6 applications are matched to The Manor. 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. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from MK44 1AU. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- The Manor is in council tax band G. 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.
