Overview

About 12 Brickhill Close

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

12 Brickhill Close is a six-bedroom detached house in Blunham, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3NF). It has a recorded floor area of 424 m² (around 4564 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2025) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in February 2015 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since.

Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.

Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 424 m² the property is well over the postcode median (172 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £1,224,000 sits 95.8% above the 2009 sale of £625,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£137/sq ft) was about 30.6% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 12 Brickhill Close is modelled from its 424 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK44 3NF. 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 12 Brickhill Close. 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 12 Brickhill Close was lodged in July 2025 at band C and is valid until July 2035. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 12 Brickhill Close. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK44 3NF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Brickhill Close 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.
