Overview

About 12a

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

12a is a detached house in Cople, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3TH). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.

Held since October 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £526,000 sits 282.5% above the 1997 sale of £137,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£117/sq ft) was about 37% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
