About 7 Elm Tree Grove
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 Elm Tree Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Keysoe, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 2JE). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in May 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 7 Elm Tree Grove is modelled from its 131 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK44 2JE. 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 7 Elm Tree Grove. 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 7 Elm Tree Grove was lodged in December 2015 at band E and expired in December 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.

- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 7 Elm Tree Grove. 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.
