About Roselea
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Roselea is a five-bedroom detached house in Ravensden, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 2RR). It has a recorded floor area of 147 m² (around 1585 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

Held since July 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 147 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2006–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £984,000 is 21.5% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£511/sq ft) was about 126.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Roselea is modelled from its 147 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK44 2RR. 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 Roselea. 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 Roselea was lodged in April 2010 at band E and expired in April 2020, 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. 4 applications are matched to Roselea. 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 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK44 2RR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Roselea is in council tax band G. 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.
