The estimate for 1a is modelled from its 124 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK44 3HS. 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.

1a is a three-bedroom detached house in Great Barford, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3HS). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1333 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £465,000 sits 394.7% above the 1998 sale of £94,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£71/sq ft) was about 58.7% below the postcode norm. 9 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
1a's carbon output runs well above what efficient homes in the postcode produce.
