Overview

About 2 The Barns

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

2 The Barns is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Cardington, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3SE). It has a recorded floor area of 224 m² (around 2411 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a G (score 13), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 21). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record.

Method

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 2 The Barns is modelled from its 224 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK44 3SE. 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 2 The Barns. 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 2 The Barns was lodged in August 2009 at band G and expired in August 2019, 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 2 The Barns. 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK44 3SE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 The Barns 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.
