Overview

About 3 Bennetts Close

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

3 Bennetts Close is a detached house in Bletsoe, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 1QX). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £440,000 sits 279.3% above the 1998 sale of £116,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£106/sq ft) was about 52.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
