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 28% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (94 m² median across 16 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 £261,000 sits 55.4% above the 2009 sale of £168,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 18.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: new windows refused in 2010.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 50 The Avenue is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK44 1QF. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 50 The Avenue. 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 50 The Avenue was lodged in May 2009 at band C and expired in May 2019, 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 50 The Avenue. 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 3 schools and 18 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK44 1QF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 50 The Avenue is in council tax band C. 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.
