Overview

About 12 Park Road

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

12 Park Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Melchbourne, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 1BB). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 722 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include notable views. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in April 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 67 m² it sits well below the postcode median (96 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £277,000 is 35.1% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£284/sq ft) was about 59.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
