About 4 Brickhill Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Brickhill Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Blunham, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3NF). It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1546 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Across 1995–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £533,000 sits 54.5% above the 2012 sale of £345,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£223/sq ft) was about 39.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years. At 144 m² it's 16.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (172 m² median across 5 EPCs).

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 4 Brickhill Close is modelled from its 144 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales 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. 3 sales are recorded for 4 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 4 Brickhill Close was lodged in February 2012 at band D and expired in February 2022, 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 4 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
- 4 Brickhill Close 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.
