3 Great North Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Chawston, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3BD). It has a recorded floor area of 186 m² (around 2007 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F.

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 Great North Road is modelled from its 186 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK44 3BD. 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 Great North Road. 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 Great North Road was lodged in June 2010 at band F and expired in June 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. 6 applications are matched to 3 Great North Road. 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 26 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK44 3BD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Great North Road 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.
