Overview

About 13 Silver Street

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

13 Silver Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Great Barford, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3HU). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 131 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £479,000 is 40.1% above the 2008 sale price.
