Overview

About 9 Bowers Close

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

9 Bowers Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Riseley, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 1DP). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

Today's modelled estimate of £293,000 sits 54.2% above the 2015 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£285/sq ft) was about 78.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 62 m² it sits well below the postcode median (94 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 11 years ago, in October 2015.
