Overview

About 50 The Avenue

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

50 The Avenue is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bletsoe, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 1QF). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 725 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 67 m² it's 21.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 15 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £257,000 sits 53% above the 2009 sale of £168,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 18.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: new windows refused in 2010.
