Overview

About 2a

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

2a is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cople, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3TT). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (January 2017) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since November 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. At 121 m² the property is well over the postcode median (79 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2001, sale prices on this property compounded at 35.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £531,000 sits 77% above the 2001 sale of £300,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 2a is modelled from its 121 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK44 3TT. 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 2a. 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 2a was lodged in January 2017 at band D and is valid until January 2027. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 2a. 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 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK44 3TT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
