Overview

About 3 Church Lane

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

3 Church Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Colmworth, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 2JS). It has a recorded floor area of 185 m² (around 1991 sq ft) and council tax band F. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows a C (score 73). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Last sold in August 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. 6 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 3 refused. Today's modelled estimate of £808,000 is 46.9% above the 2013 sale price.

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 Church Lane is modelled from its 185 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK44 2JS. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 3 Church 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 Church Lane was lodged in January 2013 at band C and expired in January 2023, 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. 6 applications are matched to 3 Church 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. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from MK44 2JS. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Church Lane is in council tax band F. 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.
