Overview

About 3 Chapel Close

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

3 Chapel Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Honeydon, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 2NE). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £284,000 sits 97.2% above the 2013 sale of £144,000. Last changed hands 13 years ago, in November 2013. At 62 m² it's 15.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 5 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2011.

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 Chapel Close is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK44 2NE. 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 Chapel Close. 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 Chapel Close was lodged in May 2012 at band E and expired in May 2022, 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 Chapel Close. 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 1 school and 18 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK44 2NE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Chapel Close is in council tax band B. 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.
