Overview

About 10 Melchbourne Park

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

10 Melchbourne Park is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Melchbourne, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 1BD). It has a recorded floor area of 280 m² (around 3014 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 280 m² the property is well over the postcode median (171 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £579,000 is 36.2% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 25.4% below the postcode norm. Last sold in September 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 10 Melchbourne Park is modelled from its 280 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK44 1BD. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 10 Melchbourne Park. 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 10 Melchbourne Park was lodged in November 2012 at band E and expired in November 2022, 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 10 Melchbourne Park. 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 2 schools and 15 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK44 1BD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
10 Melchbourne Park 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.
