Overview

About 15 High Street

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

15 High Street is a four-bedroom detached house in Blunham, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3NL). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 842 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows a G (score 13), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1996–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £620,000 is 21.3% below the 2024 sale of £787,500, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£936/sq ft) was about 247.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 78 m² it sits well below the postcode median (130 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Most recent transfer: August 2024 at £787,500.

Method

How to read this page

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 15 High Street is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK44 3NL. 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 15 High 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 15 High Street was lodged in July 2011 at band G and expired in July 2021, 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. 5 applications are matched to 15 High 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK44 3NL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
15 High Street is in council tax band E. 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.
