About 24 Silver Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
24 Silver Street is a four-bedroom detached house in Great Barford, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3HU). It has a recorded floor area of 187 m² (around 2013 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 187 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2009–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £568,000 is 43.1% above the 2013 sale price.

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 24 Silver Street is modelled from its 187 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK44 3HU. 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 24 Silver Street. 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 24 Silver Street was lodged in April 2013 at band D and expired in April 2023, 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. None is matched to 24 Silver Street. 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 3 schools and 27 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK44 3HU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 24 Silver Street 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.
