Overview

About 3 Green Lane

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

3 Green Lane is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Swineshead, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 2AF). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1787 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 166 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2014–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 41.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £510,000 is 36% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£210/sq ft) was about 34.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in May 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 3 Green Lane is modelled from its 166 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK44 2AF. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Green Lane. 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 3 Green Lane was lodged in October 2015 at band E and expired in October 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 3 Green Lane. 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 12 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK44 2AF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Green Lane 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.
