Overview

About The Grange

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

The Grange is a detached house in Riseley, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 1BY). It has a recorded floor area of 473 m² (around 5091 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £1,250,000 is 21.9% below the 2018 sale of £1,600,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. Last changed hands 9 years ago, in January 2018. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2005.

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 The Grange is modelled from its 473 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK44 1BY. 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. 1 sale is recorded for The Grange. 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 Grange was lodged in February 2014 at band E and expired in February 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to The Grange. 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 1BY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
